"Me? I'm not in a dental plan. I thought you were in a dental plan."

"This patient has a rare form of medical insurance."

"Will I be penalized for not having health insurance if I'm young and I'm actually invincible?"

"Kids, your mother and I have spent so much money on health insurance this year that instead of vacation we're all going to go in for elective surgery."

"And, for insurance purposes, you must buy insurance."

"Let's play health care!"

"Hey, little fella. Welcome to the risk pool."

"You can't be insured, Harry and Louise, because of your preëxisting condition."

"My career doesn't reflect what my passions are as much as where my health insurance is."

"Sorry, Sylvia, but your mother's long-term care has been going on just a little bit too long."

"Are we cold blooded enough to run an H.M.O?"
