This is off topic, but I think that some of you might find it interesting. A friend of mine just called to tell me that her Regents, union health insurance, just turned her down for knee surgery, saying that it was caused by obesity and could not be covered. She asked if she had a heart attack would that be covered, and the answer was no, not if it was written up as attributed to obesity.

Monty Python had a routine about a man making a simple insurance claim. The agent looked up the policy and sadly said, "Oh, I see you purchased the "No Payments" policy. Ahhhhh, that means that no matter what happens to you ... we don't have to pay. Sorry about that. Nothing I can do, really. Have a nice day."

We're getting there.

No surprise at all. Saw it coming a long time ago from far far away.
