Parlor Wit

A man runs into a doctor's office and tells the receptionist, "I need to see a doctor immediately!"

The receptionist asks him, "Are you paying personally, or through a private health insurance, or through an HMO?"

Flustered, the man asks, "What's the difference?"

The receptionist answers, "If you are paying personally, the doctor will see you now; if you are paying through a private health insurance, you will have to fill out this stack of forms and wait; if you are paying through an HMO, I am your doctor."
