Now I've seen everything. Healthcare gift cards.

I've received ads twice in the last week. One, a brochure from Florida Blue Cross, and the other in a mass mailing.

Does Granny need that hip replacement? Does little Timmy need leukemia treatment? Does gramps need help with his incontinence? Does Who's Your Daddy need some Viagra?

No insurance? No problemo. Run out and get them a Blue Cross Health Care Gift Card.

What the fuck has this country come to?

3. I am considering setting up a blog for me to beg for donations to pay

for "insurance" or actual medical care for myself. I just need to figure out how to set up a DONATE widget.

Hey, it's the American way! The entrepreneurial spirit of innovation!!!

5. Go to Paypal.

They can walk you through it online. It's a pain in the ass, but it's doable.

I just set one up for our non-profit.
