Vaccinations now are a matter of public health policy I won't quibble with you on vaccinations. The only vaccination to get when I was a kid was small pox, so there wasn't quite so much to it as now. I mentioned that I thought my school provided those. I know they provided the polio vaccine when it became available. It makes sense to me for public health to hand out vaccinations. Much cheaper and efficient that way, especially since the government requires them. Beyond that, though, my point still stands. Shouldn't cost much to provide medical care for an average child. You mention ear infections. What else is there? The occasional broken bone. No big deal since most kids never break even one bone. The occasional household accident. Even if the truly poor stiff the emergency room on such things, it's not going to bankrupt it. Sorry I didn't read your link. My firewall spit it out.
