The phone rings and the lady of the house answers, "Hello."

"Mrs. Sanders, please."

"Speaking."

"Mrs. Sanders, this is Doctor Jones at Saint Agnes Laboratory. When your doctor sent your husband's biopsy to the lab yesterday, a biopsy from another Mr. Sanders arrived as well, and we are now uncertain which one is your husband's. Frankly the results are either bad or terrible."

"What do you mean?" Mrs. Sanders asks nervously.

"Well, one of the specimens tested positive for Alzheimer's and the other one tested positive for AIDS. We can't tell which is your husband's."

"That's dreadful! Can't you do the test again?" questioned Mrs. Sanders.

"Normally we can, but Medicare will only pay once for these expensive tests"

"Well, what am I supposed to do now?"

"The people at Medicare recommend that you drop your husband off somewhere in the middle of town. If he finds his way home, don't sleep with him."

    Great...I'm gonna e-mail my senator right now and tell him he'd better not vote for Health Care Reform if he wants my vote when he comes up for re-election. If Medicare really does this to people, imagine what will happen when the "Public Option," i.e. government-run health care, takes effect.

    Mistakes like that REALLY DO happen!!!!!!! I was once turnned down for credit because some IDIOT mispelled my name. WHY did they even go by name? I have FOUR inquiries on my report, because the SAME bank/department kept making mistakes and kept rerunning it! In hospitals, they now ask me my name, address and birthdate all the time. Where I am working, it is ILLEGAL to turn away illegals, so we use number, NAME, gender, and birthdate. MAN are there problems there! People have even had the WRONG leg cut off, so now they try to draw "CUT HERE" on the leg!
