"Your insurance covers just enough hand rehabilitation to insure you can open your bills."

"For me, crime pays for what Medicare doesn't cover."

'Of course, you're welcome to a second opinion from our HMO's insurance executive.'

"I've never needed health insurance - I just make sure that I always owe money to everybody."

'Is there another doctor in the house? He wants a second opinion.'

'Pre-existing conditions - What did YOU die of?'

'Frankly, our dental plan bites.'

I'm going to switch you to a new medication that does more advertising.

'You do have catastrophic insurance, but it only applies in case of invasion from outer space.'

"Most of our procedures are out of network."

'Human beings get all the breaks -- just TRY to get Medicare to pay for a tree surgeon!'

'Sorry, our HMO doesn't approve treatments of 'owies'.'

"Well the good news is that according to your insurance there is nothing wrong with you."

Where HMO's are headed

'I'm can't tell if this card from our insurance company is optimistic encouragement or a threat!'

'Your employer's health plan automatically cancels your coverage once you get sick.'

'Yes we can cure you - but the bigger problem now is: can you afford it?'
