Clip Quote: " Samantha Jones: Excuse me, I don't know if this is an appropriate question to ask.
Nun: I think we passed appropriate a few seconds ago."
About this clip: In this deceptively funny scene, of the Catch-38 episode, written by Star, Bicks, Chupack, Bushnell, Tuccillo, and others, we are acquainted with the grim reality of breast cancer which, not unlike death, is the biggest leveler for all - ranging from the likes of Samantha Jones and some pushy people at Los Angeles and Miami, to those who cannot even avail the adequate medical care, much less an appointment with Doctor McAndrew. Samantha's "moral sentiments" necessitate that she uses Smith's name to squeeze in herself and the nun for an early appointment the following morning.
The receptionist's apathy is the symptom of the privatization of medicare that plagues the American Dream; in fact American healthcare system is called out by Noam Chomsky as based "overwhelmingly on virtually unregulated private health care"* which is "extremely inefficient and very costly"* leaving millions of people with "no insurance at all"* and insecure. To this end, he demands political support from the likes of Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan Chase in the aftermath of Obama's Affordable Care Act as also the plans during the Reagan years that didn't amount to anything substantial.
This oncological scene highlights the unavailability of qualified doctors for all and sundry, which problem the Gubernatorial candidate, Cynthia Nixon, with her #MedicareForAll hoped to correct, tweeting thus, the last September:

She also talked about her own mother's struggles with breast cancer: [ Ссылка ]
When the A-listers in New York have to wait aeons for getting an appointment with a doctor, it's time we ponder on what the third world impatient patients go through! This excellently written tragicomedic scene, equating Claudius' speech post-regicide in Hamlet, "levels" the Catholic nun with a libertine PR-pro, the A-Lister with a mere receptionist and the privileged with the destitute!
