Yup...That's because it irritates the hell out of me when a patient complains that they can't afford their kid's antibiotics (or their BP medicine or freakin tylenol) and almost without fail, I glance down at the chart to note that they're smoking a pack a day. Let's see--Walmart prescription at $4...can I give up a day of smoking? Nah....
Sorry to be so predictable. |

There aren't many more annoying things than liberals who cry from their ivory towers the horrors of the poor without ever descending to actually meet them, and then telling those of us who actually work with them how things "really" are.

One pack per day = $5. One month's worth
of tobacco = $>$120..........excluding beer. I've seen some folks in the ER with their kids and continually step outside to smoke. But they don't have money to see a doctor or buy 'stuffy' medicine? You're out of touch!

Your presumption is quite remarkable, if I may say so from my ivory tower.

btw, that can't be applied to Obama, since that is actually what he did.

isn't this a thread about Dems and whether their empathy with working Americans is legit?
