Obamacare
Just came from a meeting with the
senior team at Reamco. They’ve produced millions of the home surgery kits, and
will be ready to ship the day we start running the ads. Karl sent me a copy of
the spots they’ve produced, which I am enclosing below. I think this is the
game changer we’ve been looking for. It will reframe the focus of the debate
away from your tax returns, and the “legitimate rape” nonsense back onto
Obamacare where it belongs. Let me
know what you think.
Fade In:
Here’s the truth about
Obamacare: it does nothing to stop
the runaway cost escalation of healthcare, it forces millions of Americans to
buy a product they don’t want or need, and it’s paid for by gutting over seven
hundred billion dollars from Medicare. And, worst of all, even with this big
government take over of health insurance, an extended hospital stay can still
saddle you with tens, even hundreds of thousands of dollars, in uncovered
medical costs. When Mitt Romney’s president he’ll work with America’s job
creators to create a private enterprise health care solution that will slash
costs, save Medicare, and it will be completely voluntary.
Hi, I’m Doctor Able Proctor here to
tell you about an extraordinary medical breakthrough that puts control of
complex surgical procedures right back where it belongs: in your own hands.
That’s right, the do-it-yourself revolution has finally hit the surgical
industry, and that means huge savings and convenience for you.
Sound incredible? Hey, you pump
your own gas, you place your own phone calls, and you run your own elevators.
Isn’t it time you did your own surgical procedures as well? You know that
cutting out the middleman saves you money. When that middleman is your typical
jet setting, country club surgeon, the savings are outrageous. In fact, you
might say the first simple, money-saving operation Reamco helps you perform is
a “surgeonectomy.” Bye-bye high-priced medical establishment. Now say “Hello!”
to the savings, fun and adventure of performing complex surgical procedures
right in the comfort of your very own home!
“It sounds complicated.”
A lot of people think so, but the
easy-to-read, step-by-step, illustrated guide that comes with your Reamco
Starter Kit makes surgery as simple as changing your oil. You’ll be amazed how
quickly you progress from one exciting procedure to another. Soon you’ll be
performing operations on all your loved ones and friends.
“But doesn’t it require a lot of sophisticated
equipment?”
If you’ve got a kitchen table the
Reamco Starter Kit provides you with the rest. Many of the most desired
operations require little more than a box cutter and tweezers. Even operations
that once required elaborate life support systems can now be performed using
only a turkey baster and an enema bag.
“This sounds too good to be true. I’m afraid to ask
how much it costs.”
Before I tell you the unbelievably
low, low price, let’s look at everything you get:
• You get our illustrated surgical
guide, “Cut & Run.”
• You get our multi-purpose cutting
tool with a bonus compass in the handle.
• You get five different
cut-on-the-line patterns for our most requested operations
• You even get the surgeon
accessory package which includes:
-
paper scrubs
-
a sterile mask
-
magnifying eye glasses
-
a diploma with gold seal, and
-
a Cuban cigar
• And, if you order right now,
you’ll also get a one year subscription to “Hobby
Surgeon” magazine.
With this kit you’ll be able to
perform: tracheotomies, colostomies, appendectomies, tonsillectomies,
hysterectomies, even biopsies. And that’s not all! With our simple,
step-by-step instructions, you’ll even be doing your own by-pass surgery. So go
ahead, break out the bacon and whip cream!
Isn’t that incredible? For the
unbelievably low priced of $699 you could be performing all these money saving
(and potentially money making) operations today. Or, if you prefer, you can
take advantage of our convenient monthly payment plan. With only ten payments
of $599 you’ll save even more. Or pay with your credit card and receive our
special thank you bonus CD, “Cash In On
the Home Cosmetic Surgery Boom.”
We’re so confident that you’ll love
the convenience and huge savings of home surgery that the folks at Reamco are
offering an unprecedented guarantee: if you don’t save at least twice the cost
of this kit with your very first home operation we’ll return your entire
purchase price with interest, no questions asked, and you can keep the kit!
But, hey, don’t take my word for it. Just listen to some of the success stories
from folks who have already taken the Reamco plunge:
“Sure I love the money I’ve saved but that’s nothing compared to what
Reamco has done for my self esteem. Everyone in my family used to think of me
as a big loser, but not anymore! They couldn’t believe that I took out my own
spleen in just one weekend. I know it sounds incredible, but here it is, and I
just feel fantastic.”

“My hemorrhoids were killing me, and nothing I tried helped. Then I heard
about Reamco. Within a week of receiving my Starter Kit I literally carved
myself a new asshole. I feel like a kid again. I can’t recommend these products
highly enough.”

Aren’t
those stories incredible? Now it’s time we heard from you! This is an offer you
can’t refuse. It can’t get any better than this, OR CAN IT? If you call
1-800-CUT-NRUN right now, in addition to the kit, the guide, the patterns and
the Cuban cigar, we’ll also donate 10% of your purchase price to a needy
person. Isn’t it time you took those big healthcare decisions out of the hands
of the medico-fascists and put them back where they belong, right on top of
your pool table or kitchen counter? Don’t wait! Call right now!
Dad,
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite detail is the "multi-purpose cutting tool with a bonus compass in the handle"! Reminds my of my 9-year-old dreams of owning a serrated Rambo hunting knife. (I think Taylor was the only kid I knew who actually got one.) In one scene, from First Blood, Rambo actually does perform a minor surgery on himself, so it definitely fits. Really going to need that compass while performing home surgery. There is a good chance of people getting lost...
Love,
Jai
