10 Signs You've Joined a Cheap HMO:
1. Annual breast exam conducted at Hooters.
2. Directions to your doctor's office include, "take a left when you enter the trailer park."
3. Tongue depressors taste faintly of Fudgesicles.
4. Only proctologist in the plan is "Gus" from Roto-Rooter.
5. Only item listed under Preventive Care coverage is "an apple a day."
6. Your "primary care physician" is wearing the pants you gave to Goodwill last month.
7. Patient responsible for "200% of out-of-network charges" is not a typo.
8. The only expense covered 100% is embalming.
9. With your last HMO, your Prozac didn't come in different colors with little "m"s on them.
10. You ask for Viagra and get a popsicle stick and duct tape.

As for the Viagra substitute, I'd guess that most erections will last more than four hours because the guys will be too terrified to remove the duct tape.
