These programs and emergency room policies exist in spite of not because of the sense of entitlement that sees egalitarian demands for healthcare as free loading or socialist nightmares. These systems, especially the clinics are collapsing under the load in most urban areas. Adequate mental health and oral health is almost nonexistent for the most vulnerable Americans. The lean-to coverage that hospitals provide which you refer to isn't health care, its trauma care (with some exceptions). It is beside the point that Roger is making. No one is really that focused on your compassion creds or the (admittedly fascinating) way that they contrast with what appears to be your political ideas. People are responding to what the ideas and the ideologues you seem into actually do in the world, regardless of your own personal intentions.
Yeah, yeah. You sharp. Liberals dull. Read Roger's post again.
