Did the contractor demolish the wrong house or did the city order the wrong house demolished?

Sad. I hope the Doc is unemployed.

Bad move. If you mark both knees (especially in the same color) you're inviting trouble. When my daughter had orthoscopic surgery on her knee, the doctor handed her a magic marker to mark the knee being operated on. If you are going to mark both knees mark one in one color (operate here) and one in a contrasting color (not this one) And don't use any of the same words in either message, e.g., not "don't operate here" vs "operate here". And always have all the patients do it the same way under your instructions. ... and don't forget to write the words THIS END UP on your forehead.

At least they didn’t raid the wrong house then demolish it with the occupants still in it.

Sometimes the house slated for demolition looks good but has irreparable foundation problems.

Now, they write on your body what is to be done while youre awake. They did that to me at the VA hospital when I had my triple bypass. After they wrote, "Triple Bypass" in magic marker, I had them write another line under that, "Please return heart to previous position when finished".... just kidding!

Reminds me of a story from France last year:
“Authorities have launched an investigation after an 18th-century French chateau was demolished, apparently by mistake.
“The 13,000-square-metre Château de Bellevue was located among the famous vineyards of Bordeaux and was due to be renovated to its former glory, but instead it was bulldozed by a Polish building firm.
“Workmen were only supposed to demolish a separate small building on the grounds of the estate, but that remains standing.”

Lots of rapid Espanol bickering going on in the background. Mucho “no intendo” can be heard.

You realize the murmurings emanating from the left are that ObamaCare is a train wreck and the answer is single payer, which for all intents and purposes is socialized medicine. That's nice, but irrelevant. Single payer healthcare would need to get passed by Congress, and while I don't have a whole lot of faith in McConnell and Boehner, I believe they just might stop that.

Well, what is coming fast is a vast downgrading of the medical personnel who will provide your care from MDs to NPs, and various paraprofessionals. Along with that will be major restrictions on access to health care so you will be in more serious condition by the time you are seen. I think you're wrong on both fronts.
1) Whether your care is provided by an MD or an NP is to a large extent a question of scope of practice, which is determined on the state level, not by anybody affiliated with ObamaCare.
2) There may eventually have to be "major restrictions on access to healthcare" if healthcare utilization rates go way up and the number of providers does not, HOWEVER as I said earlier that's a long way off -- and not something that is either provided for in ObamaCare directly or something likely to occur during Obama's term of office. That's a long term potential problem, not an immediate threat.

I remember looking out my window one morning and remarking to my husband about what a coincidence it was that our neighbours were getting their siding removed the same day ours was scheduled for replacement.
Whoops....

They are going to enjoy their brand new house much more than the old one.

It’s hardly irrelevant. The entire aim of ObamaCare is a takeover of the health care, a la NHS. ObamaCare is simply a midpoint. As P.J. O’Rourke said, socialism is communism by the glass. ObamaCare in its present form was never intended as the Endlösung, just as close as they could get away with.
