All I can say is I am slightly boggled by this point of view. Is it really worth letting innocent but unlucky people go without health care just because a few people abuse the system? I mean, abuse of the system is unfortunate but a little more taxes won't kill anyone, as opposed to the alternative. And it's not like the vast majority of people that can't afford health care don't work, either. |
If you ever worked in a community health clinic you'd know it wasn't a few people. Its a never ending stream. |
That's just a dodge. Rephrased question so: is it really worth letting innocent but unlucky people
DIE without health care because a "never ending stream" abuses the system?
Isn't it far worse than the infamous
"blaming the victim"?
Isn't the right way, improving
efficiency (stopping the abuse) and
help all the
people in need?
