No, because the cost of health care is high enough that at minimum wage, 
you'd never actually earn enough to afford it.

Plus if he's working overtime to make the money to afford it, and gets 
sick, he needs to take time off (would you give him paid time off?) to go 
to the doctor.

Would you give him paid time off to do preventative health tasks?
