Coffee addiction or caffeine dependancy?

That was my reaction. I support universal healthcare but damn… comics like this make me think maybe we don’t deserve it.

What part of the world does this idea come from? Men in general definitely don’t complain about pain more than any other gender in my region. I have noticed a gender difference between taking a nap, walking it off, and taking drugs. I could probably generalize a bit about who prefers rest, who prefers to grin and bare it, and who prefers to try to medicate it.
