Taking Care of Your Health Should be a Priority…Not a Luxury
I was inquiring about where healthcare fell when people were prioritizing their expenditures.
Basically, when you make a decision on what has value when funds are tight vs. those products/services you don’t purchase when you don’t have expendable income. It’s the age old question of what is a NEED vs a WANT…a MUST-HAVE vs. a NICE-TO-HAVE.
In my experience, patients have a habit of discontinuing a legitimately necessary treatment, many times that THEY sought out, because they can’t “afford” it. This, of course, can be interpreted as “they don’t value this THING over something else.”
