My apologies since I seem to have offended you. I reread your other post about the people with means which referenced leaving a portion of their estate. I agree with that statement. Some very wealthy people often build a wing. I was not slamming the young & poor as a whole. I'm old and certainly not rich....comfortable right now, yes, and we have to live very modestly. I realize that some people are not even as fortunate as we are.

I'll try again. If someone can afford to smoke these days and get numerous tatoos (don't know what they cost but understand the good ones are not cheap), body piercings, drive new cars, etc. then they should be able to contribute to their own health care. If they feel good enough to go across the street for a smoke before waiting to be seen, then what is the emergency? BTW, it was dusk and there were some Urgent Cares still open until midnight. Why not go there?
