What a load of rot this article represents! The last sentence really gives it away.
People complain. I hand out drugs for a living. Very, very few of my customers cheerfully pay hundreds of dollars a month for medication. Many of them are faced with the hideous decision of which care to forgo in order to survive. They aren't glad to pay for an ultrasound because it means they can't put gas in their car. They don't just complain. They organize. They look for a better deal. They work the system. They ask inconvenient questions. They don't pay their bills in full. That's what people do. Poor people don't have the luxury of being happy to pay for what they can barely afford. Turning it into some lame moral position demonstrates a very shallow understanding of human beings and the issue at hand - which is that we pay too much for health care and get too little. That's the real embarrassment.
