Jesus and Health Care reform

My former neighbor who now live in Arizona recently sent me one of these vitriolic “chain-emails” that only morons would forward, in which president Obama's effort to fix health care mess are unfairly criticized. This prompted my calling Jesus on Skype...
Jesus: What's on your mind Go11?
Go11: I wanted to know what you thought of president Obama's drive to fix health care...
Jesus: He better get going with that and fast! Do you guys realize that you're spending twice your share of GDP compared to the rest of the so-called civilized world?
Go11: But why are all these Republicans refusing to work with him?
Jesus: Because they've been able to tap on their constituency's selfishness and hypocrisy!
Go11: How come?
Jesus: Well if you are insured through your employer, you just don't care. If you have a bit of intelligence, you should know that steep and constant insurance rate increases are unsustainable and something will eventually break, but if you listen to the conservative radio talk shows, you don't even believe the country is on the brink of health care implosion. Then there are those who are on medicare, which precisely is “big government health care”, but works so well for them that they don't want to share this form of “socialized medicine” with those who can't get coverage...
Go11: A bunch of hypocrites, right?
Jesus: Totally, and besides I'm going to keep tab on all them and make sure St. Peter quick them in the ass straight down to hell as soon as they attempt to get a seat in heaven!
