It's a rotten thing to do.
The trouble too is that if you challenge it, it will drain more energy/cost more money.
It seems inherently wrong to me that one should charge folks for being unwell.
I recall an ancient system from somewhere, where one paid the doctor when one was healthy and earning. If one fell ill, his payment stopped until he got you better again.
That sounds better than "until ONE got better".
Not sure why I'd lapsed into regal speak all of a sudden.
