On the recordApril 30, 1997
I had a senior who in one meeting, she gave me a stack of envelopes that must have been about 3 inches tall, many, many envelopes. They were all bills that she received. She received them all the same week. She simply said, why could they not have been put in one envelope? Some of them were duplicative. It was a pretty extraordinary thing. I will say to the gentleman that another person stood up at this meeting and said, ``You understand I am a man.'' I said, ``Sure, you look like a man. You look like a senior.'' He said, ``Well, I was charged for giving birth.'' He said, ``That is not possible but I was charged that.''
