Part 1:

Consider the following scenario:

Your daughter complains of a sore throat for the last two days and has a temperature of 102F. The day care center will not allow you to bring her in due to the fever and the concern over strep. Your co-pay for an office visit to the pediatrician is $20.00. You call to make an appointment and cannot be scheduled for at least a week. The pediatrician's partner can see her tomorrow or you could take her to the emergency department of the local hospital, but the co-pay is $100.00.

What do you do? How will you balance your daughter's health care needs with the cost for treatment, and the cost of missing work until she has recovered?
