Isn't this just like Medicare?

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

"Mrs. Ward, please."

"Speaking."

"Mrs. Ward, this is Doctor Jones at the Medical Testing Laboratory. When
your doctor sent your husband's biopsy to the lab yesterday, a biopsy from
another Mr. Ward 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. Ward asks nervously.

"Well, one of the specimens tested positive for Alzheimers 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. Ward.

"Normally we can, but Medicare will only pay for these expensive tests one
time."

"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."

Probably only funny for the people aware of the Medicare situation.. but yup, I agree it definitely is the way Medicare seems like these days. Tough job.

funny
