This flyer was posted on the bulletin board at my office (temporary job with the US Census Bureau). It is a legitimate form published by the US Department of Labor - Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) encouraging employers to Hire An Older Worker.
Obviously, I added the parenthetical phrase containing too much punctuation and too many capitalized words (because the actual form is humorously over punctuated/capitalized). The form is about the size of a large book-marker, probably designed by a retired grammar teacher who idolized Ben Franklin (200 years and still not a more appropriate poster-codger?), and they had no training in visual design.
If you think my attempt at humor is insensitive, cool your jets high-speed and consider the number of elderly who will not get tested by a doctor because the Medicare program they are enrolled in has a deductible or a co-pay (or both) and a $100 doctor bill means a week without groceries.
Medicare-For-All is not the gold standard (no matter what Bernie Sanders says). Most elderly people I know (or have known) carry an additional insurance policy to cover the 20% Medicare does not cover, or to bridge the gap between the exponentially large cost of prescription medications (not covered by Medicare or Medicaid) or to pay for anything over Medicare's annual cap.
Veterans-Health-Care-For-All is the tarnished-gold standard. With all the flaws of a VA hospital or clinic, they do not send you a bill, or cover only 80% or have a cap on annual services.

Jim - You are very observant (and not being able to put your finger on the difference between "my stuff" and this one) is understandable. I will add a paragraph to explain in the body of the post.
