• This episode is a social commentary on HMOs and our health system.
  
• "The Allocator" is the computer that controls the hospital and calculates the T.C. (Treatment Coefficient) of each patient, which determines which level of treatment they qualify for.
  
• Level Blue is the highest level of care. Level Red is filled with patients who "do not contribute to society." Level White is the morgue.
