The majority of HMO plans I've seen can be likened to hospital gowns --
you only think you're covered.
There's one big advantage in being over 50 --
you don't get a lot of calls from insurance salesmen.
Then there was the Rabbi who specialized in circumcisions. He applied for malpractice insurance.
A policy was promptly issued, but it had an unforeseen catch -- there was a two inch deductible.
Actually I have some misgivings about Hillary never being able to push her National Health Insurance policy thru.
I mean she and Billy-Boy have been making me sick for years, why shouldn't the government have to pay for it.
The Maryland State Highway instituted what seemed not only to be a great group insurance plan, but was said to save the tax-payers millions of dollars annually.
Much to the dismay of the employees however, it was quickly discovered the fine print stated that to use the sick benefits, the entire group had to be sick.
I have a neighbor so old, she took out her policy when that Rock of Gibraltar company was just a pebble on the beach. Anyway, I understand when she lays down on the couch for a nap, she looks like the undertaker was called away while he was working on her.
One month her Insurance Agent came to collect her premium, took one look at her prostrate on the couch, and left a pay-off check on the kitchen table.
