But what astounded me is this statement: "She has not been to a primary-care doctor or a gynecologist in years and goes to the emergency room when she needs care. “I could have an alien called cancer growing inside me, but who knows?” she said. “It worries me.”"
WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!?
This bitch refuses to go to her obgyn because somebody else won't pay for it?
Is that really what the American people have sunk to? I know plenty of strippers who don't have health insurance. And they all go to the obgyn regularly. My mom doesn't have health insurance (and she refuses to apply for her social security or medicare...drives me nuts, but that's the way my family is)...and she goes to her obgyn and family doctor as needed as well.
Why the hell can't this women cough up $50 to go to the obgyn? That same article even brags how medical care is so low priced in Hawaii...it's just ridiculous and goes to show what happens in people's minds when they think that somebody else is supposed to take care of them like they are fucking babies.
