Excerpts:

The following items were commonly seen on patients or carried by their dependent children, who were also covered by subsidized programs:

* Cell phones and "BlackBerry" PDAs, including just-released models with a price tag of 0, plus an ongoing monthly service fee of -0
* iPods and portable DVD players
* GameBoys and handheld electronic games
* Artificial fingernails requiring maintenance every two weeks at a cost of – per salon visit
* Elaborate braided hair weaves, 0 per session plus frequent maintenance
* Custom-designed body art, including tattoos covering the entire torso, neck and arms, as well as body jewelry piercing every skin surface imaginable-and a few unimaginable ones. Custom tattoo work, particularly the "portrait-type" and "half sleeve" art popular in this area, runs from 0-0 per hour and can require up to 20 hours of work, depending on the complexity of the design.

And:

I encountered patients who gladly paid upwards of 00 in cash for laser hair removal treatments. The paperwork filled out during their initial consultation asked them to indicate whether or not they had health insurance.
Several hair removal patients reported being covered by Medi-Cal, the government funded health coverage for California ’s low-income population.
A friend of mine sells private health insurance plans. He told me of the 39-year-old father of two whose family was quoted a monthly insurance premium of 0.

"Are you kidding?" he said, refusing the coverage. "That’s almost as much as my boat payment!"

I’m buying a Christmas gift for a teenage boy in an orphanage/foster care. The rules are fairly simple. The gift has to fit in a shoe box and the lid must close. Because they (the children) don’t have access to batteries on a regular bases handheld electronic games are out. My aunt suggested a Rubik’s cube, but that seems more suitable for a 10 year old not a teenager. What are your suggestions?
