Sometimes laughter is good for emphasizing something’s importance, and sometimes only shock therapy will work.
A funny new direction from our friend Herman Dreier:
TOP TEN INDICATORS THAT YOUR EMPLOYER HAS CHANGED TO A CHEAPER HEALTH
CARE PLAN:
(10) Your annual breast exam is done at Hooters.
(9) Directions to your doctor’s office include “Take a left when you enter the trailer park.”
(8) The tongue depressors taste faintly of Fudgesicles.
(7) The only proctologist in the plan is “Gus” from Roto-Rooter.
(6) The only item listed under Preventive Care Coverage is “an apple a day…”
(5) Your primary care physician is wearing the pants you gave to Goodwill last month.
(4) “The patient is responsible for 200% of out-of-network charges,” is not a typographical error.
(3) The only expense covered 100% is “embalming.”
(2) Your Prozac comes in different colors with little M’s on them.
AND THE NUMBER ONE SIGN YOU’VE JOINED A VERY CHEAP HEALTH CARE PLAN:
(1) You ask for Viagra and they give you a Popsicle stick and Duct Tape.
And one that’s not so funny, from the blog of St. Luke’s Health Initiatives:
Here is part of an actual quote from a major private health insurance company for providing coverage to an Arizona small business with seven employees:
61 y. male and spouse $5,442.97/month
24 y. male $484.29/month
30 y. male/family $3,421.59/month
32 y. female $1,410.75/month
You do the math. Total annual health coverage premium for this small business: $245,078.88!
Cost is the critical issue, not who pays. This borders on the criminal.
