So what now? When someone goes to seek health care they just get turned away to go home and die? If they are treated at a health care facility we pay through either a government reimbursement to the facility or through higher medical costs.
Do we take on the third work option of not allowing people to leave the hospital till their bill is paid?
I hear lots of stuff you don't like..be honest, what is your option? If it's just let them die, please have the guts to come right out and say it. Not my problem equals the same thing.
Um, no it hasn't.
But here is something I have been wondering about. There are several charities out there to help with people in crisis and in need. Many of them have to do with medical expenses, and these charities rakes in millions, if not billions in funds. So, why aren't more people utilizing them? We go to grocery stores and churches and are constantly being asked to donate to some charity or another, so why expand the charity services? Isn't that what they are there for? To pick up the slack for those too poor to succeed on their own?
San Franciscans. Happy?
There shouldn't be any homeless people in San Francisco. The left-wing supposedly "cares" about the poor, remember?
Shelter is even more of a critical life-sustaining need than health care.
That depends my dear, you can survive quite nicely sleeping on the sidewalk in many places in the US, you don't usually fare as well if you have cancer and no healthcare.
Oh I dunno..but easier access to birth control and abortion could fix a lot of that, as would teaching about birth control in school.
They've been teaching about birth control in school for some time and the only way access to birth control and abortion could be any easier would be if they had door-to-door delivery and performed the procedure in your bed.
Everytime you purchase auto or homeowner insurance - you are paying for someone's healthcare. Because all those companies pay for insurance for their employees.
We are all paying one way or the other.
So you're saying State Farm pays for the employees medical insurance in full?
I know what I'm going to do about health care for the poor. Take my money, my assets, and move abroad before paying for everyone else healthcare makes me poor too. Before anyone asks, yes I intend to collect my Social Security. I paid for it and I want it back.
I think the United States requires a cultural revaluation. Ask yourselves whether your society is sustainable with existing attitudes.
Which attitudes?
The attitude of spending over 650 billion a year on our military so that our allies don't have to? I would love to spend half that and use our military for what it is meant for.
The attitude of making excuses for criminals and criminal activity?
The attitude of treating illegals like they are oppressed citizens?
The attitude of allowing the defense industry to fleece we the people? Yeah that will break our backs.
The attitude that our trade deals must always favor our trading partners? Yeah that hasn't helped us much.
The worst attitude is that the US must play world cop and involve ourselves in every disagreement.
So some of you have no problem forcing others at the gunpoint to pay for your health care but will not put up your own money to pay for healthcare for the poor?
What kid of human being are you? Where’s your basic human decency?
That depends my dear, you can survive quite nicely sleeping on the sidewalk in many places in the US, you don't usually fare as well if you have cancer and no healthcare.
Sometimes yes. Sometimes no. Not all cancers are terminal. The left obviously believes the poor don't need shelter. They don't need health care, either.
