If you are rich you can afford health care, and if you are poor living in section 8 and/or getting welfare the government pays for it all, with the taxes that are payed by the working poor. our country has a sick sense on who gets help. i see people who work thier asses off every day, don't get paid much, and they struggle to have food, a car, medical issurance, and everything else. and some asshole on welfare who doesn't work or do anything, gets a place to live, is well fed, and all medical is taken care of. we need to also take care of the people who make our system work. we live in a country of consumers and no producers(look at our lack of industry). i really don't know where i am going with this
That is the messed up reality we live in. The fact that those who are lazy and do nothing get everything handed to them for no reason as you said basically and everyone who does work is stuck paying for it. What the hell is wrong with this world???
Pretty messed up if you ask me. You make a good point to about the lack of industry and jobs and all that it's a major problem that leads to a lot more problems. Till that's fixed everything will most likely continue getting worse..
