Doctor Visit at 78: A Couple’s Medicare Deal

The doctor asked, “What can I help you with?”
The husband said, “Will you watch us have $€x?”

The doctor looked puzzled, but agreed. When the couple finished, he said, “There’s nothing wrong with the way you have $€x,” and charged them $50.

This happened for several weeks. They would make an appointment, have $€x with no problems, pay the doctor, and leave.

Finally, the doctor asked, “Exactly what are you trying to find out?”
“We’re not trying to find out anything,” the husband replied. “She’s married and we can’t go to her house. I’m married and we can’t go to my house. The Holiday Inn charges $90. The Hilton charges $108. We do it here for $50… and I get $43 back from Medicare.”
