Is this a new ACA feature?

A month after slithering into the ceiling of Washington’s Tacoma General Hospital, a white ball python is back with its owner.
Sources say a visitor brought the snake to the hospital in a cat carrier full of stuffed animals. After the owner went home, he realized his python had escaped and notified the hospital, according to KCPQ.
Hospital workers said they didn’t think anything of it because they see strange things happen all the time. The snake was found, “when it came out of the ceiling ventilation on April 30,” said Marce Edwards with MultiCare Health System.
Edwards confirmed that the owner picked up his fugitive pet reptile and took it home. It’s not clear what the snake was eating and drinking while living in the hidden passageways and ceiling areas of the facility.
As terrifying as it might be for someone confined to a hospital bed to see a snake drop from the ceiling, no one was ever in any real danger.
Ball python snakes are not venomous and the constrictors don’t usually get large enough to pose a danger to humans.

Unless the person in the bed was recovering from a psychedelic drug overdose.
Was that meant to be a ‘Comfort Snake’, or did the owner sneak it in via the cat carrier for other reasons?
Maybe he wanted to literally scare the life out of somebody.
If somebody approved that, they shouldn’t be working at a hospital.
I hate when I go to the hospital and pythons are falling from the ceiling.
I’ve had a little piece of that popcorn stuff fall from the ceiling.
But, a snake?
I guess he couldn’t find an alligator.

Why would someone do that?
Was the snake’s name Monty?
(sorry, couldn’t resist)
Some reptiles carry salmonella, hopefully not that one.
Was that yours? LOL!
Count ‘em. If you’re one short, don’t tell anyone.
Snakes falling out of the ceiling ping list!
I really hope that’s a low-volume ping list. (No, I don’t want to be added.)
Ted, they found your snake.
Good thing that it didn’t fall from the ceiling in the cardiac ward. The warnings from the monitors would have sounded like a jet taking off.
Maybe his name was Guido van Rossum?
Was it on of Cruz’ daddy’s snakes?

This must be the new Obama care heart stress test. :-)
