Marketing Health Care
[Guest post by DRJ]
Check out this great Instapundit post. Here’s the punchline:
“I don’t think the Obama Administration took over GM. I think GM took over the Obama Administration.”
Obama’s health care reforms would have an entirely different feel if the old GM were in charge of marketing instead of the White House. They have a well-known spokesperson in Obama but where’s the slogan? I think “We Hope You Change” is better than an old mainstay like “An American Revolution,” but both might work.
But what they really need is a catchy tune. That’s a tough one.

Here’s the song they need.

AD - RtR/OS! (2a3014) — 8/13/2009 @ 9:59 pmAnd here’s their new spokesman for Obama. As for a song, more like this.

They won, after all.
The pharma $150 million ad campaign is basically a donation to Obama’s campaign. It’s a bribe.
At some point, our laws require some element of honor. It’s gone.
Juan (bd4b30) — 8/13/2009 @ 10:14 pmI take that back. OIDO’s link is better.
Kevin Murphy (0b2493) — 8/13/2009 @ 10:15 pmoh. I have a catchy tune. It’s not about communisms or anything. I haven’t the slightest idea what it’s about really. brb.

happyfeet (42470c) — 8/13/2009 @ 10:52 pmHow about this guy as spokesman?

THIS should be the theme song for ObaMao’s “Great Leap Forward in Health Care”….. who can argue with lyrics like:
Doctor doctor, please
Oh, the mess I’m in
Doctor doctor, please,
oh the mess I’m in
He walked up to me
and really stole my heart
And then he started
to take my body apart
*Livin’, lovin’, I’m on the run
Far away from you
Livin’, lovin’, I’m on the run
So far away from you
Doctor doctor, please
Oh, I’m goin’ fast
Doctor doctor, please,
oh, I’m goin’ fast
It’s only just a moment,
He’s turnin’ paranoid
That’s not a situation for a nervous boy
Doctor doctor, please
Oh, the mess I’m in
Doctor doctor, please,
oh, the mess I’m in
But you look so angry

He’s got the strain,
and I can’t take any more
I was thinking more along the lines of the Police’s every breath you take, but with more catchier lyrics:
Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond we break
Every bailout we create
We’ll be watching you
Every single day
Every word you say
Every complaint you make
Every townhall we fake
We’ll be watching you
Oh, why do you fuss
You belong to us
How our poor hearts ache
With every protest you make
Every e – mail we take
Every vow we break
Every smile we fake
Every claim we make
We’ll be watching you
We’ll be watching you
Dmac (e6d1c2) — 8/14/2009 @ 7:04 amWe’ll be watching you
We’ll be watching you
We’ll be watching you…
In light of the advice that doctors will be giving to older patients to reduce end of life care expenses, I recommend the theme song from MASH, with the lyrics.
Suicide is Painless

Also kudos to the suggestion:
quasimodo (4af144) — 8/14/2009 @ 8:01 amGrandma got run over by Obama?
daleyrocks (718861) — 8/14/2009 @ 3:33 pmCan’t believe no one’s suggested just the right tune for Obama’s health care plan (audio’s’s awful but the graphics, esp the admittedly NSFW one at 3:30) are shockingly appropriate.
