Thanks for the, um, gift?

During my pregnancy with Rachel I enrolled in our health insurer's Maternity program, which involved monthly phone calls with a nurse caseworker to keep track of my pregnancy progress and manage any complications should they arise. I had been involved with a similar program with a prior insurer, and at the end they sent me a $25 JCPenney gift card as a thank you. I assumed this program would be have a similar end-of-program gift.

On the last phone call, my nurse caseworker told me I would receive a Thank You gift in the mail. A few weeks later it arrived. I unwrapped the package to find a soft white fleece baby blanket with a satin band...and a large embroidered insurance company logo in one corner!!!

Maybe they were trying to say, "Wrap your baby in the warmth and comfort of having health insurance." I thought it was weird.
