And not paying for medicine in order to buy junk is the American standard.
I think it is men who are notorious for NOT going to the doctor when they need to go to the doctor.
I also have noticed that people will pay for teeth whitner rather than go to the dentist for a cleaning.
And finally, I am not proud to admit this, it wasnt a shining moment in my thought process, but I kept this notion going for a couple of years...
I put off going to the obgyn until I wanted to have a baby. Why pay $ for something when I cant afford to pay for medicine to fix it if somethings wrong? And why pay $ for something if I dont even care about test results at the moment because I'm not having a baby anytime soon? Stupid thinking, I know. But it was a combination of being young and invincable and having weird financial priorities.
