Fixing our Economy WhileReforming Healthcare

As I sit here basically dying from a respiratory infection, strep throat, etc., It dawned on me that it is total bullshit that I must wait until late tomorrow to see my doctor to get a prescription for Erythromycin. I know that is what I need, and I will guarantee that is what my doctor will prescribe. So why can't I just go down to CVS and buy some? Why, because some people are stupid. Why must I wait until late tomorrow? Because in this horrible economy, companies like mine have done away with paid time off. So no sick days, no vacation pay, I can't afford to call in sick.

Here is the solution---

Immediately pass legislation allowing anyone over the age of 18 to buy any non-narcotic medicine over the counter. This would allow me to get my damn antibiotics so I can stop being sick. This would also greatly improve the economy and create job openings. How you ask? It is simple, stupid people would mis-diagnose themselves, buy drugs they should not take, overdose on them, and die. Think of all the job opportunities opened up by their sudden demise!

Please call your local representative today and ask them to pass this legislation... Our economy and our health care system are counting on you!
