Kid's medical checkups being slowed by gas prices

In what is an odd result from a recent poll, apparently the rising cost of gasoline may mean some American kids are seeing less health care as a result.

The poll was taken this summer even before gas prices were above $3 per gallon, and about six percent of parents said that they had postponed a medical visit for their children due to high gas prices.

In addition, those same parents also stated that they postponed buying medications due to high energy prices as well. I guess it's a decision of driving that gas guzzler through the rate race each morning or the health of those kids. Which would you pick? Note: that question is a set-up.
