Thanks for such a very funny list! I should think Letterman

would like something like this. ;-)

I'm sure that will be able to relate to this as she belongs

to an HMO herself.

I don't know if you'll recall but when she needed to go into the

Emergency Room in the middle of the night because she could

not breathe, her husband called the doc on-call for her HMO 6

times to get authorization and he NEVER bothered to return the

call to discover why a patient was so desperate to go to the

Emergency Room! Can you beat that?

He was probably thinking that if he held out long enough, the

HMO could instill the 'embalming' clause.

Thanks for your continued good wishes.
