> James Verone said he walked up to a teller at a Gastonia, N.C. bank and handed her a note.

> It said "This is a bank robbery, please only give me one dollar." Verone then told the teller he'd be sitting in a nearby chair, waiting for the police.

> The 59-year-old said he did everything he could to get caught so he could receive free health care in jail.

> Verone has a growth on his chest, two ruptured disks and a problem with his left foot. With no job, Verone thought his desperate plan was the best way to provide for himself.

[...]

> Verone's plan was to go to jail for three years, then be released in time to start collecting Social Security.

I agree, however it's sad that he has to do this to get healthcare.

Free as in, he does not have to pay. Yes, someone will be paying, but it is free for him.

The man is dumb...
He should have gone for a huge robbery. If he succeeded he would have the cash to pay for his health care, if he didn't he'd get free from the state after prison...
