^^^ pretty much this.
US Medicare, in it's current form, does not pay for
any diagnostic testing. I could wax
ad nauseum over the cost-per-benefit of pro-active,
covered health maintenance, and the consequential savings to tax payers, over that of only covering catastrophic costs (which tend to error toward exponentially rising prices), but I'm more interested in watching your shithouse go down in the flames, while simply stifling a soft chuckle.
also also:
has anyone heard if the
En Ese are still able to keep
Etch-a-lawn mainframes spinning while the National Weather Service guys have to pray they'll be getting backpay to cover the cost of McDonalds for the family???
