You're the one to decide what's a sniffle or cold? I think I'd rather
have my doctor decide.

I am 60 years old. My parents and my wife and I (with our kids) did a
pretty good job determining what required a doctor's attention and what
required a day home from school to rest.
Now-a-days the parents don't want that responsibility because it only
costs a $10 co-pay to run to the doctor.

That's what I am talking about. Not serious injuries or illnesses.

Perhaps you're better educated than others? Perhaps it's something other
than laziness or not taking responsibility. Perhaps it's concern for the
child's health. I seriously doubt any parent is going to waste the hours
required to take a child to the doctor if it's something they really think
is trivial. That would cost them way more than the $10.
