i don't see anything here that contradicts the parent.

which is to say, preventative and maintenance care are important, and i don't see any of that in what you described. parent's talking about emergency care. you're describing emergency care.

She did generally have good access to preventative care once she had a condition. Since she generally always had something wrong with her, she generally always had access. I see your point though.

I'll also say that people like her are why preventative care isn't always what it's cracked up to be. There are plenty of people like her with conditions like diabetes(which she also developed due to her sedentary lifestyle and poor eating habits) who willfully disregard their doctors' attempts at moderating their behaviors.

> good access to preventative care once she had a condition

That is literally the opposite of what "preventative care" means.

Everything is emergency care, if you wait long enough.
