A lot of people wonder: Does God get health care along with his line of work?

Sadly, no. God has to pay for all his own medical expenses, including vision and dental.

The reason is plain. Deities are very independent spirits, and have refused to come together to organize for better working conditions.

A lot of divine beings think that they can do it all on their own. As Zeus once said, “I gave birth to my daughter from my head, and I didn’t take an aspirin. What do I need health care for?”

However, Prometheus shouted back, “Collective action gets the goods!” Hiawatha accused Prometheus of just trying to get a liver transplant without having to pay for it himself.

God stayed on the sidelines, and would not sign the list of divine rulers of the universe seeking unionization. That’s why, to this day, he does not have health care.
