Reply #92: Where does it end?

[astral]

If we are entitled to free health care, then what are we **NOT** entitled to?
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?
shelter?
safety?
food?
clothing?
a bath?

I would rather be safe and clean and not hungry than have health insurance. Are we granting health insurance to the homeless without granting them the basic tools to humanize themselves so they can have a half a chance of getting a leg up?

If you are homeless you are not safe.
If you are homeless chances are you are cold sometimes.
Dirty sometimes with nowhere to wash nor clean clothes to change into.
Hungry sometimes with no legal way to get food.
Thirsty with nowhere to go where you can find a drink of water.

And, of course, sick with no way to help yourself to get better, not sicker.

WE ARE ALL ENTITLED TO FREE HEALTH CARE. IT IS A GOD-GIVEN RIGHT WAIT A MINUTE WHO NEEDS GOD IF WE CANT FIGURE OUT WHICH GOD

I think we all need God. We are no more able to take care of ourselves -- and each other -- without God than 5-year old children are able to fend for themselves without a parent.

Sure, everyone should have access to health care. In an ideal world. I think we are putting the cart waaaay before the horse here, though.

They are closing up a homeless camp here and telling everybody to scatter, go away. It gets real, REAL cold here in the winter time. Scatter to where? Well, I'm sure if they had free health insurance they would all be allright, never mind about where they go. Ask them, they'll tell you -- they have no where to go.

EDIT: I forgot to add up there -- no place to use a RESTROOM. It happens. You've all seen it.
