my "life chance" as you call it, was working my rear-end off 12+ hours per day, Carrying 100lb rolls of 4/0 welding cable up flights of stairs etc.
So much for the "glamor" of show business!!!
If I am indeed "Self-righteous" my account is paid in full!! I have the broken body to prove it.
As Jean said, hospitals cannot turn away the sick or injured. Granted it is an imperfect system, but it seems to work judging from the flood of illegal aliens from all over the world who come here for treatment.
