And it is precisely why this sense of entitlement to health needs to end:
People with insurance have said to me,’I didn’t get that prescription, because I’d have to pay with my own money!’ As if I suggested that they sprout wings. (Crazy talk, that! Investing in your own health, when you could buy a new i-pod and download some music!)
I don’t blame my young friend, really. He’s simply grown up in a system that says that your health is someone else’s responsibility. Pity, that. Because friends, it’s only going to get worse.
