“Small Time Crook” or “Robbed of his Health”

A North Carolina man desperate for medical insurance robbed a bank, asking for only $1 in a note, just so he would get arrested and get jail health care.  Unfortunately, he will probably be sentenced to an HMO.

It’s a sad truth that the only way he could get close to an insurance company was to become a criminal himself.

The lesson he learned is that crime doesn’t pay, but it does have health benefits.

Oh, and the bank wants their dollar back.
