Bottom line is...the woman is a travel agent in Hawaii. Hawaii supposedly has some of the lowest cost medical care in the country. She has a job. A visit to the obgyn twice a year is something she should be able to pay for.
But her comment was that she hadn't been in "years" And maybe some kind of cancer is "growing" inside her but she just doesn't know but is scared.
What a crock of shit.
Number one...that bitch has got some nasty ass pussy.
Number two...if she's really "scared" why doesn't she save $15 a week for 4 weeks and go to the damn doctor? She has a job!

Agree. Just because she has to pay, doesn't mean she shouldn't get a $150 check up.
The entire American Health and Social Care system is a mess. Those who pay, are milked and yet can get a good service if their Insurance Policy pays out. If you get to a hospital and they think you have the money to pay, the cash registers start to ring up the bills. Those who can't pay, get a system where if they have an accident are patched up and sent home ASAP. Things like cancer are not automatically covered, some may qualify some may not.
Companies paying the benefits are lumbered with a large extra cost.
Those who through no fault of their own can be left behind.
Health/Social Care is like Defence, Transport and Government. Best in the hands of the people, not businessmen.
