Brits Upstage Obama

In an obvious attempt to upstage U.S. President Barack Obama’s historic achievement in regard to healthcare coverage for all Americans, the British unveiled a new dignity-replenishing hospital gown.

“What good is medical insurance if my backside is hanging out?” queried one exasperated American after hearing news of the UK's new snap-up-the-side hospital gown.

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown denied claims that the Brit’s momentous announcement was held for weeks in order to coincide with Obama’s signature of the healthcare overhaul legislation.

Sometimes these things just happen this way,” smirked Brown. “While Americans were tied up for months debating the minutia of insurance coverage, the British were focused on real healthcare reform.”
