The plight of the uninsured, Obamacare, complicated and digitized insurance records put my mind in a restless daydreams. I dream of younger, healthier days when most of life's complexity was easily reduced to the simplicity of a tabletop, pen-and-paper role playing game. I wake and yet imagine their mechanics make practical life skills. Hit Points, for instance, as drafted in Wizards of the Coast's Dungeons and Dragons, are easy to understand and are crucial. The equivalent are called Heat Sinks in FASA Corporation's BattleTech. Although, players don't die in BattleTech when their Mech runs out of Heat Sinks. It's a little more complicated than that, but I'm trying to make life simple.

In that respect, I've cobbled together self-help health forms for ordinary citizens. In peril of sounding Socialist, especially in this far-Right, politically Luddite climate, I was purposely egalitarian and awarded everyone the same amount of points, circles or whatever you call them. Oh, that's right, you can copy these sheets hosted on Deviantart. They're generic and practically sexless. You can call those circles whatever you like – my only rule – once they're filled-in, you're done. Finished. That means whether you're dead or exhausted, hungry, you can decide. You're in charge and manage your own health care. That rings especially true in the USA.

I did make separate sheets for males and females, as distinguished by the images. Most of the human population is old and saggy. And because everyone is getting poorer, they don't wear the nicest clothes. These two are in their Sunday-best.

Because we're in America, I've included the option to purchase extra points. Extra points are useful if you make those circles represent life-points.
