National Association of Undertakers Backs GOP Health Plan
Funeral Directors: ‘Works for Us'

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) - Congressional Republicans received key backing today for their health care plan, picking up support from the National Association of Undertakers.

The funeral directors' group, which represents undertakers, embalmers and hearse drivers across the country, gave the GOP plan a big thumbs up, saying in a press release, "Finally, a health care plan that works for us."

The endorsement from the undertakers' association was the second major endorsement in two days for the GOP plan, which yesterday picked up support from the National Association of Viruses and Bacteria.

Elsewhere, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's memoir will be published Nov. 17, with an English version to follow

1. har de har.....BUT
made me wonder

how bad a businessman to you have to be for your business to go, uh, under if you're an undertaker

even in the worst of times, I'll bet that particular field stays lucrative

it's one of a very few that never lacks for clients

2. O My God,
This is catching on. I just heard that the Grave Diggers Union now supports the GOP plan and that the Teamsters had a major defection today, when the hearse drivers broke off from the union to support the GOP bill. I have also heard that the National Brotherhood of Medical Examiners and the National Association of County Coroners have now joined forces in support of the GOP bill.

Awesome take on the subject.

God Bless.

6. Bang! You Dead!
If they had accuse President Obama for "death panels", why in the hell the GOP endorsements deal with DEATH? Undertakers? Funeral homes? Hearses? Are you serious? Now, something is wrong with this picture. What a bunch of hypocritical fools!
