We CAN provide decent health care for all US citizens, it IS within our means to do so. How that is to be done remains a healthy debate.
Part of the problem is the "poorest people in America" having access while many in the middle class fall through the cracks. They don't qualify for decent health care, I'd like to see that change. |
Charities "assist" people. Governments support people in order to control people. Charities assist to the limit the charity can afford. Governments cannot afford to support people, no matter how much control it gives them over the people.
