Millions Flee ObamacarePosted by Andy Borowitz at the New Yorker

"SNIP..............................
Turning away from Canada, Mr. Dorrinson joined a procession of Tea Party cars heading south to Mexico, noting, They may have drug cartels and narcoterrorism down there, but at least theyve kept health care out.
Mr. Dorrinson was halfway to the southern border before he heard through the Tea Party grapevine that Mexico, too, has public health care, as do Great Britain, Japan, Turkey, Spain, Belgium, New Zealand, Slovenia, and dozens of other countries to which he had considered fleeing.
Undaunted, Mr. Dorrinson said he had begun looking into additional countries, like Chad and North Korea, but he expressed astonishment at a world seemingly overrun by health care.
It turns out that the United States is one of the last countries on earth to get it, he said. It makes me proud to be an American.
