You Know the Joke
Two doctors discuss the reality of the healthcare system.
“You know the joke,” Dr. Allen Berting said.
“What’s that?” Dr. Frederick Stack asked.
“What do you call someone who graduates last in his class in med school?”
Stack looked perplexed for a moment. “What?”
“Doctor!”
They shared a laugh. They clinked glasses of cognac in Berting’s backyard with a fire pit blazing.
“I just think we’re edging closer to having a permanent fascist system.”
“I think the same. The government’s control over the healthcare system is completely evil. Even if they leave us private, the regulations and controls throttle us.”
‘These are facts. We’ve got to keep fighting them.”

Breath issued from Angelica’s mouth. The weight of the baby put her into her chair. Her curves managed to say she had not been with child the whole time. There seemed to be a fantastic ideal swimming somewhere in her mind about the hazards of caring for two. She grabbed a magazine and fanned herself, knowing that she expended more energy in that effort sitting still and letting the air conditioning do the job. No, she told herself, without struggle there is no triumph. She switched on the television set. The picture looked as people had been replaced by blue aliens and she just watched her soap opera, void of extraterrestrials for this time.
