    Which is fine. It’s just some people do clog up the normal system with minor things. I especially see this with people for whom going to an appointment is no inconvenience (no work, so the retired anf nervous mothers, etc.). The minor charge helps avoid a situation in which they have an outsized effect on health care expenditures for the state.
