A man suffered a serious heart attack while shopping in a store.
The clerks called 911 when they saw him collapse to the floor.

The paramedics rushed the man to the nearest hospital where he had emergency
open heart bypass surgery.

He awakened from the surgery to find himself in the care of nuns at the Catholic Hospital he was taken to.

A nun was seated next to his bed holding a clip board loaded with several forms and a pen.
She asked him how he was going to pay for his treatment.

\”Do you have health insurance?\” she asked.
He replied in a raspy voice, \”No health insurance.\”

The nun asked, \”Do you have money in the bank?\”
He replied, \”No money in the bank.\”

\”Do you have a relative who could help you with the payments, asked the irritated nun?
He said, \”I only have a spinster sister and she is a nun.\”

The nun became agitated and announce loudly, \”Nuns are not spinsters! Nuns are married to God.\”

The patient replied, \”Perfect. Send the bill to my Brother-In-Law.\”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Millions of smokers could be priced out of health insurance because of tobacco penalties in President Barack Obama\’s health care law, according to experts who are just now teasing out the potential impact of a little-noted provision in the massive legislation.

The Affordable Care Act — \”Obamacare\” to its detractors — allows health insurers to charge smokers buying individual policies up to 50 percent higher premiums starting next Jan. 1.

For a 55-year-old smoker, the penalty could reach nearly $4,250 a year. A 60-year-old could wind up paying nearly $5,100 on top of premiums.
