To be fair... On the one hand, publicly complaining about the upbringing of your own daughter is just bad, but on the other...

When you're 24 years old with your own (presumedly good) income and you want a non critical operation done, shouldn't you try and finance that yourself?

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah there are a lot of possible nuances here.

LASIK can be optional, but there are a lot of situations where it can make a huge difference depending on her eyesight issues.

Teacher salary is NOT good in most places. And at 24 she's entry level. Could be making less than enough to really live on, depending on CoL in her area.

Add in that as a teacher she likely has student loans to pay on... At least until she can get through the system and get on the public service repayment option. I think they were trying to improve it but last time I tried to get on it the system was less than ideal to work with

Shouldn't goverment finance healthcare?

Wait, wrong country.

Finace yourself? In this economy?!

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

Government should do that fully, even lasik, in my opinion, but this is the US, so yeah.

I just tried to make the argument that the woman has a point, at that age you should show some responsibility for your own life

Are there any countries where LASIK is covered?
