Rand Paul: ObamaCare Adds Codes For Bizarre Injuries

Have you been injured by a turtle, or perhaps by burning water skis? If so, good news: ObamaCare now adds new diagnosis codes to explain to the government exactly how you got hurt, including the two aforementioned mishaps.

The section on ObamaCare’s new codes starts at 5:08 in this clip and runs a little less than two minutes.

Senator Rand Paul (R- Ky) also points out that the number of diagnostic codes is expanding- from about 18,000 to 140,000. Supposedly this will let government bureaucrats decide that they’re going to pay for an injury sustained from, for example, “walking into a lamppost,” but not for one sustained from “walking into a lamppost, subsequent encounter,” both of which Paul mentions, quipping, “I guess that’s if you don’t learn.”
