An elegantly dressed man, resembling Mr. Moneybags, reclines in a ship's deck chair, IV fluids dripping into his arm. He sips a martini, seemingly oblivious to Uncle Sam, who hangs from the IV stand beside him. Uncle Sam wears a coat labeled &quot;Medicare and Medicaid Cuts.&quot; A life preserver nearby reads &quot;1st Class Use Only,&quot; as the ship sails on rough seas.

A six-panel cartoon depicts a man's perplexing day. In the first panel, a car with the license plate &quot;8647&quot; is shown. The second panel shows the man looking at a bill totaling &quot;$86.47&quot;. In the third, he is on a golf course as someone shouts &quot;FORE!&quot; while looking at a scorecard with with &quot;8&quot; and &quot;6&quot; and &quot;7&quot; circled. The fourth panel shows a spiky-haired person in a &quot;47&quot; shirt holding eight e-cigarettes, causing the man to exclaim, &quot;EIGHT E-CIGS?&quot; The fifth panel features a crossword puzzle with the words &quot;Ate&quot; &quot;Tease&quot; and &quot;SICS&quot;Finally, the man in the sixth panel looks at his phone and says, &quot;SECRET SERVICE?
