I don't want to speak for said nurse, but I think she was just venting on the fact that we have to foot the bill for people who don't bother to do the bare basics in taking care of themselves. And then, these people show up in a hospital or DR's office require expensive medical care (free for them) when all they had to do was put down the cheeseburgers or stop smoking. I guess maybe I'm off topic...since I was agreeing with her and it probably has little to do with your OP Justin. Now I'm just ranting.
