Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 03, 2014

Later that day, Guard Duck accidentally sets off an incendiary device, causing people to point and say, “Look at that flaming HMO!”

I’m not surprised that Acme H.M.O. has to be so aggressive in collecting their money – I’m sure they have to spend a lot of money on their #1 customer because of his tendencies to fall off cliffs and blow himself up.

Obviously, Obama should have consulted Rat!

My primary care guy went concierge: One large flat fee for a year service. It solves a large number of problems for him and gets me better face time.

Ah, good ol Guard Duck!

HMO’s. The last great Democrat idea. Not quite as big a failure as this one.

It’s more the medical malpractice insurance they have to carry because of corrupt personal injury lawyers.

Rat has figured out an effective billing method for Medicare…

Ahh, the old LGD & RPG HMO solution! Love it! Not too practical for most folks, though….

Actually they are closing because they are all to aware of what OBAMAcare, that’s OBAMAcare with a big OBAMA, is going to do to health care in this country.

Rat’s been practicing for a long time…one of these days he may get it right!

I love guard duck!

The AFLAC gig didn’t work out for Guard Duck, so now he’s working for Rat.

Guard Duck may be evil but I still see cuteness in him.xxx

I want this staff helping me! I have to go through 4 medications before insurance will pay for the medication my doctor wants me to have! That’s why I LOVE this strip-especially today!

Sounds like every HMO I’ve ever heard of. HMO, of course, stands for “Hardly (any) Medical Offered.”

he would kill himself rocket to close

yolo

I need Guard Duck to talk to my insurance company.
