Underward: a Tale of Obamacare Joe Warren

Publisher Marketing: Obamacare Is Here, In All Its Lethal, Tyrannical Glory. The Fundamental Transformation Of American Healthcare Has Begun in Earnest. In such uncertain times, unusual men claw their way to the surface. They cast aside the fetters of conventional morality, embrace Obamacare, and seize the opportunity to make a killing, in every sense. Such a man is Tiger Hyde. Hyde is not the average hospital executive. His ruthless blend of criminal brutality and crony capitalism has subverted Oil Town General, a small rural hospital near the Mexican border, and created an underworld hospital ward, or UnderWard. Hyde wants Obamacare funds to expand his hospital, but first he must replace Oil Town's lone, pesky, independent physician, Dr. Kaline, and snare a tenth, "owned" doctor, Mark Sap. Dr. Sap succumbs to Hyde's blackmail scheme, and Dr. Kaline is forced out with sham peer review, but as the Obamacare windfall lands in Hyde's lap, unforeseen complications develop. When FBI Agent Frank Miller begins probing the UnderWard, Hyde flees to Belize, but he suffers a catastrophic motorcycle accident en route. Will he survive resuscitation in his own Emergency Room? Read What The Critics Are Saying About UnderWard "Generally speaking, domestic drone strikes against U. S. citizens on U. S. soil are inappropriate, but if we can locate this Warren guy, we may make an exception." -Attorney General Twitchy Trigger "Sacrilege! Blasphemy! Generally speaking, we do not issue fatwas against critics of Obamacare, but this Warren guy has stepped way over the line!" -Healthcare High Priestess Shirley Supercilious "Like Allah, I am compassionate and merciful. I favor a balanced approach to fundamental transformation. Certain reactionary elements, however, cannot be tolerated. Let me be perfectly clear. We're gonna squash this Warren guy like a bug." -Indonesian Messiah and Despot Sammy Sotero Contributor Bio:  Warren, Joe Warren is a freelance writer for fly fishing and tying magazines.
