Dear Chris what did they do Start requiring pasties on the donuts dear Joe Bob i follow with warped and perverse pleasure your column which appears each week in the european edition of the stars and stripes. I especially like the letters in the newspaper from brain dead writers who object to the printing of your column on the grounds that it is humorous. The real reason of course for such objections is that the writers have problems with words composed of More than one syllable or three letters. Just try explaining your column to a German. Yours in the perpetuation of drive in movies we actually have one in a nearby Village but the Texas Chainsaw massacre with German lip synching misses the Mark a although the plot of the movie fits in quite Well with the mind set Here Robert Jones .

Five years later Mcgann was hospitalized w Ith pneumonia and diagnosed with aids. Tough Tough Luck but at least Mcgann had the Comfort of knowing his medical costs would be substantially covered through his health insurance at work. Mcgann told his employer he had aids. A few months later the company notified him it was changing its medical coverage policy from group insurance to self insurance. Henceforth said the company the Cap on treatment of aids related illnesses would be reduced from $1 million to �?o$5,000 per individual John Mcgann got Good and mad. You would too. He sued. A Federal District court in Houston said an employer has the absolute right to change a group medical insurance plan. The 5th circuit court agreed writing that the Law Quot does not mandate that if some or most or virtually All catastrophic illnesses Are covered aids. Must be among the Case went to the supreme court. The Bush administration invited by the High court to state its View on the Case said a amp a music a action was legally sound and asked the court not to disturb the 5th circuit decision. It did t. The supreme court said a amp a music indeed had the right to Cut Mcgann a health insurance benefits to almost nothing because he had aids. Nobody told John Mcgann. Nobody could. Mcgann died last year. Perhaps its just As Well he did no to live to see the president of his country agreeing with the president of his company that Mcgann did no to deserve what other employees deserved. Then again perhaps he already knew. One thing about the Reagan Bush years if you were Gay you knew where you stood. You stood at the Bottom. Now the message that has been sent by the supreme court and the president in this matter is Clear its still of to be prejudiced. How sad. And it does no to even make Good financial sense. I talked with the vice president in charge of benefits for a Large corporation in California. She said nowadays premature birth cancer open heart surgery a they still tend to Cost More than aids today the estimated Cost of aids from diagnosis to death is $60,000 to $80,000, which is often less than other life threatening diseases. She says aids costs were so expensive in the beginning because aids patients were treated entirely in hospitals. Now she says most arc treated primarily at Home with custodial care or in hospices. We be Learned she says that they do not need extensive Hospital care. After All aids is incurable. And pretty darn fast too. The Good news is its doubtful most companies Are going to Rush to exclude aids patients from their insurance coverage. If they try they re Likely to run squarely into the new american disabilities act. Which became Law too late to help John Mcgann let us Hope they re also Likely to run so Mucky into president Bili Clinton. King a november 22, 1902 Lyndaf a
