How Good Is Your Insurance?

1) Which of the following are you confident your current insurance covers?
Hurricanes/Typhoons
Smallpox, diptheria
Ennui
Acts of God
Acts of a cold, unfeeling universe
Volcano zombie killer bee apocalypse
2) Does your health insurance cover the cost of any preventative care?
no
hell no
3) Your HMO excels at treating you
after a severe accident
like a helpless infant
for numerous rare allergies
to a whimsical dance of paperwork and contested claims
when you aren't actually sick
in the shortest period of time imaginable
with only slight delays which increase with the severity of the illness
with a wide assortment of patented medicaments
4) The profit motive
creates an incentive to provide the highest quality care possible
creates an incentive to deny care when doing so increases the insurer's margins
