Aside from death and taxes, rent is right up there on the list of the inevitable things in life. The way some of these residents act, however, you'd think they'd never heard of paying rent in their life. They are late, they don't have it all, they beg for more time to pay, etc... While most of the health plans pay for most of the stuff, including tests, it is incumbent on the residents to pay weekly for their room and board. Not only does this build a sense of responsibility, it encourages them to get a job and join the real world of working folk.
