This was a "letter to the editor" in August 29th Jackson , MS newspaper.<br />------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />Dear Sirs:<br /> <br />"During my last night's shift in the ER, I had the pleasure of evaluating a patient with a shiny new gold tooth, multiple elaborate tattoos, a very expensive brand of tennis shoes and a new cellular telephone equipped with her favorite R&B tune for a ringtone. Glancing over the chart, one could not help noticing her payer status: Medicaid. She smokes more than one costly pack of cigarettes every day and, somehow, still has money to buy beer. <br /> <br />And our Congress expects me to pay for this woman's health care? Our nation's health care crisis is not a shortage of quality hospitals, doctors or nurses. It is a crisis of culture — a culture in which it is perfectly acceptable to spend money on vices while refusing to take care of one's self or, heaven forbid, purchase health insurance. A culture that thinks "I can do whatever I want to because someone else will always take care of me". Life is really not that hard. Most of us reap what w e sow. <br /> <br />Don't you agree? <br /> <br />STARNER JONES, MD<br />Jackson , MS <br /> <br /><br /><br />What about providing gold teeth for those who really really neeeeeed them ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586513.post-30002910405727950532009-10-13T14:01:00.207-05:002009-10-13T14:01:00.207-05:00Hi,
