Well, what I do know is if you provide people with say, medical care, and they can't pay for it, they don't have medical insurance but they get treatment anyway. Who winds up paying for it in the end? I believe the cost gets passed off to people who can pay for it, people who have insurance. That cost has risen over time to the point that even some of them who have insurance are getting to the point where they can't afford their insurance premiums. It's kinda like taking a snowball and rolling it down the hill. It's getting bigger with each rotation, gaines more and more speed to the point where it's dangerously outta control. The people in it's path are at odds as to how to stop it. We've got a situation that, no matter what we do, someone's gonna get splatted with that outta control snowball. So, do we just do nothing because we don't want to piss off anyone or do we just step in with the best workable solution and save as many as we can?
