I would say there are a lot of ways to define *financial means*.
A person may have enough in the checking account to cut a check for this month's insurance premium, but what about the long haul?
If those monthly premiums and co-pays are going to put a strain on the family budget to the point where they put the future (and I'm thinking into retirement) financial well-being at risk, that needs to be taken into account as well.
Not all familes are doing such a hot job of forecasting their regular income vs outgoing monetary needs - even short term. Some going to be up a creek 10 and 20 years down the road with out major health problems.
I say don't let ethics ruin your life. If you need help, take it. That's what it's there for.
