Senators Clinton & Obama?


Hi Hill. Hi Barack.

I know universal healthcare is a big issue for you as you battle in out in Ohio and Tejas and whatnot. Do me this one favor and help me out here.

I have to get a $h!tload of inoculations before I head to Africa next month. Wow, only $65 for all my shots and the appointment, not bad! I thought, when I was on the phone with the travel doctor. But then she tells me that the U.S. of A. is in serious shortage of the Yellow Fever vaccination, so I have to go to a special clinic and pay a special fee... $150 for just that shot alone!

Now, how come I have to pay extra bc the U.S. didn't procure enough vaccination? And I can't even use my health insurance to pay!

I am totes aware this is a first world problem I am dealing with, but still and all.

BTW, what IS Yellow Fever?

she's got yellow fever...he's got yellow fever (to the tune of disco hit "jungle fever")

i love the word inoculated.

also, maybe the fact that they didnt produce enough means is a good thing...because maybe that means that there are more great people like you going over that they never expected!
