Dragnet, a most perspicacious gentleman who lives a bit southwest, sent this one
on the subject of Medicare...

Medicare Part G

Say you are an older senior citizen and can no longer take care of yourself and
need Long-Term Care, but the government says there is no Nursing Home care
available for you. So, what do you do? You opt for Medicare Part G.

The plan gives anyone 75 or older a gun (Part G) and one bullet.

You are allowed to shoot one worthless politician. This means you will be sent to
prison for the rest of your life where you will receive three meals a day, a roof
over your head, central heating and air conditioning, cable TV, a library, and all
the health care you need. Need new teeth? No problem.

Need glasses? That's great. Need a hearing aid, new hip, knees, kidney, lungs,
sex change, or heart? They are all covered! As an added bonus, your kids can
come and visit you at least as often as they do now!

And, who will be paying for all of this? The same government that just told you
they can't afford for you to go into a nursing home. And you will get rid of a
useless politician while you are at it. And now, because you are a prisoner,
you don't have to pay any more income taxes!

Is this a great country or what?

Now that you have solved your senior Long-Term Care problem, enjoy the
rest of the week...
