A True Iatroligarchy

Have you ever been forced to wait hours at the doctor's office because some snot-nosed brat has to go meet with the nice doctor, Billy, and for god's sake, please sit still? Or perhaps you were caught up behind that elderly man at the grocery who can't pay for his Medicaid bills, and he doesn't really want to have to take the trouble, but after all, it's this damn socialist administration, and in his day, of course, a colored man would never have been elected. Or then there's that woman you always see on the way to work with her troupe of children cavorting behind her, and you just know she's probably schizophrenic, and goodness, it's just a disgrace, and what's the world coming to, at any rate?
Fear not, brave white-collar majorities, fear not.
Brothers and sisters, the solution is clear. Why should we support those who can't afford healthcare coverage? If you were to traverse the Serengeti, how many wounded gazelles receive air transport to the nearest watering hole? It's a dog-eat-dog world out there, and it's survival of the fittest. It's time to cut the crap and do what's necessary.
Henceforth, what we must do is eliminate any subsidies for lower-income families, terminate financial support for the elderly, incapacitate alimonies for all the sickly children. After all, the majority of senior citizens are retired, what are they going to do now except complain? And the lower-income families just contribute to crime and worn-down areas of town, we lose nothing if they are slowly pushed out of the social system. And sickly kids will be nothing but a burden to everyone in their lives, we would be well-advised to end that burden apace.
In short, healthcare is only for those who deserve it. Let's do the right thing.Only the majorities contribute to furthering our great, glorious nation of America - why not let them be the only ones to receive medical coverage? Sure, the elderly are still human, and low-income families still deserve to be treated like any normal, contributing family, and sick children ought to get as much of a chance in life as the rest of us, but let's face it - what are they ever going to do for you?
Healthcare for the elite - that is, a true iatroligarchy - is what we must implement.


note: iatroligarchy is not a real word, but...
iatro-; related to medicine
oligarchy; rule by the few or the elite
