8. healthcare
emergency health care can't be denied, if you need it, go for it, and then pay what you can, even a few dollars on a routine basis. A friend of mine needed her gallbladder out, but is was not an emergency, just an intermittent flare up, had no insurance, so no one would even see her. She worked 2 jobs, did not get health care cov'g from either employer, and made too much for medical assistance. I too would feel unsettled with bills looming about, but sometimes you have to make choices on what you can pay to keep yourself afloat. I have seen one dentist office who had a sign that read "will provide no cost or low cost care to people without coverage" There are still some decent people out there.
