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.

Ahh, but you are a reasonably educated, wealthy, white guy who worked and
got many of the advantages life has to offer. You're far more
sophisticated in the matters under discussion than tens of millions of
Americans. What works for you intellectually isn't going to work for
boobus Americanus, necessarily. The short version: a lot of parents do not
have the ability to differentiate between a low fever and a fever that
might indicate something serious.


Hmmmm... makes you wonder. But ..
Any financial advantage I may enjoy was arrived at later in life .... after
turning 50.
No, I just had responsible parents and, more to Mrs.E's credit than mine,
our kids had responsible parents. Neither one of us are rocket scientists.
