I got a stamp for that!®

Verdon Road resident Fred Wallace was the first person in Doswell to receive the Federal Government’s Health Care Ration Stamp booklet, making him eligible for literally a dozen medical procedures.

“I sent my request in early,” claims the elated Wallace, who reports he is going to use a “Groin Health” stamp first under the “Men’s gender specific” section. “I got trouble peeing – I get up 6 or 8 times at night, and every time I dribble all the way back to bed. But bingo! Problem solved! I got a stamp for that!”

And unknowingly, Wallace hit upon the Bureau of Health Administration’s PR logo. “Our trademark was the result of many years’ work by over a 100 federal commissions and agencies.” Says a BHA spokeswoman, “I got a stamp for that! ® reassures the American people that their medical needs are our top priority, with no regard to cost. That is our pledge, especially to Mr. Wallace and all the fine folks of Doswell, Virginia.”

The BHA also is quick to dispel any negative connotations with the ration books in regards to similar books printed during World War II. “Oh please – these are nothing like the ration stamps of the 1940s!” claims the same anonymous spokeswoman. “The US was at war during World War II – unlike today, where we are just taking positive steps to ensure every single person gets the medical care they are allotted due to the shortages created by the Health Care Act of 2009. That argument is laughable!”

The BHA claims all eligible citizens of Doswell will receive their ration stamp books as soon as they fill in form BHA-US-27Z/06 and provide at least 63 months of receipts from their current health care provider, proof of uninsurability, three years of federal tax forms and their birthdate.
