Joybell--Too funny! I'd not heard about the "Lifestyle" thing. That is mind-boggling. So if a person gets cirrhosis of the liver or pancreatitis he may be denied medicare coverage because of alcohol consumption.(New Bush Law) Now the Fellow says I don't drink. Then the gov't. must prove he's a drinker. So they go to his neighbors,the nearby liquor store or resort to a lie detector. (New Bush Law) This may sound far fetched, but I think it's plausible in the current zeitgeist. They find one neighbor who saw him have a beer at a barbecue, ergo he's a proven liar. He goes to an attorney to sue Medicare for out of pocket expenses. Lawyer says-Your expenses are higher then the gov't. cap on allowable damages.(A new Bush Law) Poor Shlub goes home and shoots himself. His wife is fined for unauthorized use of weaponry. (New Bush Law)   

Lastly Raptor I think his secretary reads the mail to him.
