Tonight I went to the Punch Line in SF to see comedian Jake Johannsen, who I think is one of the funniest comedians working out there. Even he is thinking and talking about healthcare and a healthy (no pun intended, ok maybe slightly intended) part of his act was about wellness and health care topics. My favorite was this:
“I have to buy my own insurance…$8000 for the family (he and his wife and 6-year old) PLUS a $5000 deductible for each of us separately. One of us better get cancer or I’m getting ripped off. I mean, I don’t want to get cancer, but one of them better get sick or I want my money back.”
I realize it’s not as funny in the translation, but live and with his deadpan delivery it was pretty damn funny.
Also liked,”Not a single person alive today has died. Let’s keep it going people!”
If you need a laugh after a hard week, it’s worth checking Jake out on YouTube or his website. I couldn’t find the health insurance bit, but I do love this one about emergency rooms. Happy Friday!

Jake is hysterical. He should be invited to every health care conference.!
I’m not prone to using clichés but laughter IS the best medicine. There, I said it. Cheers Lisa!
