Joke?, Maybe. But thought provoking

[Guest guest]

A joke that someone sent to me, but it made me think about what value

is received for what type of health care and medical services at what

cost, etc. F.

 

 

 

> =================================================================

There will be no nursing home in my future.........When I get old

and feeble, I am going to get on a Princess Cruise Ship. The

average cost for a nursing home is $200 per day. I have checked on

reservations at Princess and I can get a long term discount and

senior discount price of $135 per day.

 

That leaves $65 a day for:

 

1. Gratuities which will only be $10

per day.

 

2. I will have as many as 10 meals a day if I can waddle to the

restaurant, or I can have room service (which means I can have

breakfast in bed every day of the week).

 

3. Princess has as many as three swimming pools, a

workout room, free washers and dryers, and shows every night.

 

4. They have free toothpaste and razors, and free soap and shampoo.

 

5. They will even treat you like a customer, not a patient. an extra

$5 worth of tips will have the entire staff scrambling to help you.

 

6. I will get to meet new people every 7 or 14 days.

 

7. TV. broken? Light bulb needs changing? Need to have the

mattress replaced? No Problem! They will fix everything and

apologize for your inconvenience.

 

8. Clean sheets and towels every day, and you don't

even have to ask for them.

 

9. If you fall in the nursing home and break a hip, you are on

Medicare.

If you fall and break a hip on the Princess ship, they will upgrade

you to a suite for the rest of your life.

 

10.Now hold on for the best! Do you want to see South America, the

Panama Canal, Tahiti, Australia, New Zealand, Asia, or name where

you want to go? Princess will have a ship ready to go.

 

So don't look for me in a nursing home, just call shore to ship.

 

P.S. And don't forget, when you die, they just dump you over the side at

no charge.
