The show Funny Or Die Original Sketches returns for its highly anticipated season 2 episode 13, titled "The Miracles of Jesus Under Trumpcare." In this episode, the hilarious comedy troupe tackles some of the most timely and contentious issues facing our society today.

As the title suggests, the sketches in this episode are centered around the potential effects of Trumpcare on the miracles of Jesus. The sketch comedy group takes a look at how Jesus might have fared under the current administration's healthcare policies, with hilarious results.

The episode starts off with a sketch called "Jesus Healing at the Hospital," where Jesus comes to heal a sick patient, only to find that the hospital has been overrun with bureaucracy and red tape. He tries to heal the patient using his powers, but is rebuffed by the hospital administrators who insist on following protocol. The sketch is a biting commentary on the state of our healthcare system, and the challenges faced by both patients and caregivers alike.

Next up is "The Miracle of the Loaves and Fishes (Under Trumpcare)," where Jesus attempts to feed a large crowd with just a few loaves of bread and fish. However, he quickly realizes that with Trumpcare, there is no longer enough funding for food stamps or other programs that help feed the poor. The sketch is a funny take on the challenges faced by those who rely on government assistance to make ends meet.

In "Jesus vs. Big Pharma," the comedy group takes on the pharmaceutical industry and their high drug prices. Jesus tries to heal those in need, but finds that the cost of medication is out of reach for many of his followers. He confronts a CEO of a pharmaceutical company to try and negotiate lower prices, but is met with resistance. The sketch is a clever commentary on the greed of the pharmaceutical industry and the way it impacts regular people.

The episode rounds out with a sketch called "The Resurrection of Lazarus (Under Trumpcare)," where Jesus performs one of his greatest miracles - bringing Lazarus back from the dead. However, in this modern take, Trumpcare regulations make it difficult for people to access healthcare, let alone afford costly procedures like resurrection. The sketch is a funny yet poignant critique of the healthcare system and the way that it often fails those who need it the most.

Overall, "The Miracles of Jesus Under Trumpcare" is a sharp and clever episode that tackles some of the most pressing issues in politics and society today. With their trademark wit and irreverence, the comedy group takes a critical look at how current policies impact the most vulnerable people in our society. Anyone looking for a good laugh and some insightful commentary on the state of healthcare in America will not want to miss this hilarious and thought-provoking episode.
