National Lampoon Inspires Nationalized Healthcare Propaganda

You take inspiration where you can find it. This 1973 National Lampoon cover…

…may have inspired a particularly shameless ObamaCare ad of the "what about the children" variety:

Give up your freedom, your money, and your top-flight healthcare or an innocent child will be made to pay!

If viewers pause to think, they will soon realize that the odds of children enjoying better healthcare after corrupt, authoritarian, and incompetent bureaucrats have seized control of the industry are remote. But it's easier to feel than to think.
