From a reader:

Dear Jonah:
Some more uplifting Medicare info:
In the scope of my employment I deal with Medicare reimbursements. Monday I
got a call from a client whose case was closed FOUR YEARS AGO. Medicare
still hasn’t finalized his account and needed update information.
More: I got a “please provide us with the status” letter from Medicare
regarding a former client who died years ago.
Lovely, eh?
