Why the ACA's lifting of caps is a big deal

3. I'm glad they didn't remove your sense of humor in that hospital

I'm really sorry that you had these devastating medical problems--and the enormous bill. But I love your wry commentary about them keeping you alive for a hundred years just to pay them off at that rate.

It reminds me of when I'd been out of college for a few years and kept getting bombarded with fundraising appeals from my school. I just wanted the letters to stop, so I thought up the possibility of making a million-dollar pledge: a dollar a year for a million years. I'd set up an account that would generate that much interest each year, and I figured they'd have to endow a chair at the university with my name on it. A toilet stall was the chair I imagined they'd endow.
