How often did you really see a doctor when you were that young??-Many are probably still insured with their parents-The vast majority of part-time hires quit within just a few short years.-Even if these younglings do go to the doctor, they're likely too healthy at that age to need anything more than a quick checkup, unlike us older full-timers that actually undergo medical procedures, therapy, treatment  (all of which are WAY more costly than a check-up)</blockquote>
