I'm very familiar with that feature. 
It just seemed like the actual messages were becoming
very tangential.
Keeping very much on topic:
I have never taken my SS card with me when traveling.
On my trips to Vegas, I take my drivers license,
health insurance and car insurance cards, 2 or 3
credit cards and my players cards. I have credit
lines at a few casinos specifically so that I do not
have to travel with large sums of cash.
With all due respect, yours may or may not
be the answer for all hospitals
particularly out-of-town ones.
With all due respect, when I said hospitals in the US,
I meant all hospitals in the United States of America.
This includes hospitals in locations where I do not
reside. This does not include hospitals outside of
the US.
The example I cited of my own experience was just
that; an example.
Take Care,
Mark
