Ah, so you have a plan, an employer, and a living wage. Unlike people who
are poor and children, you have choices. Not much of humanitarian I take
it.

Ah, the old "ya gotta do it for the po' folks" argument. The politicians
have found that it's hard to get votes by handing out things just to the
po'
folks. The new game is to hand things out to everybody and then explain
that
somebody else (typically "the rich") is going to pay for it. That's how we
got the infamous donut hole.


So, what you're saying is that society should do nothing for the poor...
just let them get sick, and cost the rest of us even more. Makes a lot of
sense.
