I can see some tragically funny scenes rising out of this. For example, a woman in an airport reads a sign detailing the early warnings signs of a stroke, and immediately notices a man displaying the symptoms. She immediately calls an ambulance and when it arrives, the medic congratulates the woman on her quick thinking that probably not only saved this stroke victims life, but probably spared him any serious physical impairment. Before they can load the patient into the ambulance however, they look in his wallet and find his Faith Based Health Care Plan card. They immediately put the man down and begin to pray. Meanwhile, another gentleman falls down the escalator. The ambulance team abandons the stroke victim and rushes the man who fell down the escalator to the hospital and save his life, per the instructions on his health insurance plan that the law requires him to be offered. The stroke victim dies, and the government is sued by his family for not following the directions on the back of his Faith Based Health Care Plan, that required them to pray for stroke relief. It’s a Mad Mad Mad World.
