we are products of evolution, and it results in imperfect reasoning, especially when we go on our "feelings" of injustice. people are very willing to take hits to their self interest to counter any "unfairness", this is an evolutionary strategy, but misapplied to the modern world it results in very counter productive measures. read that article, many homeless are allowed to cost the city millions as they degrade in health on the streets, because the act of housing or caring for them would be seen as unpalatable even if it were far far cheaper. inner monkey rage is what drives people to vote against their own self interest, participate in blood feuds, and even blow themselves up.

You didn't have to post all of that....it was pretty funny the way you responded in your previous post, that's all.

your mentality garrantees this stuff happens. so be outraged at yourself for having counterproductive positions based on not being able to overide your inner monkey rage.

What part of medicaid don't you understand? You gonna pull the "people dying in the streets shit on me?" This fucking piece of shit chose his path, and chose to leech off others no matter how noble he seems to portray himself (and the article). Least he could do was leech off others without commiting a felony. I dare say you are the one that supports criminal behavior and in fact rewards it.

This fucker wanted "free" healthcare, he can get it. Yet he's too stupid to go get it and chose crime instead. Poor people are poor because of their own poor decisions, that's a fact jack.

I say bring the criminals on, I've got bullets for each and everyone of them.

Article said he didn't qualify for DI nor early social security. Sounds like his poor decisions (no savings for retirement?) lead him on this path. He, and he alone chose this path.

Right you are, I misread it. At age 59, he's 3 years away from early Social Security. Odd, around here he wouldn't have been able to apply at that age?

At any rate, he'll probably get a reality show or something.

Why not just go to the ER?

Yep. According the many around here, you can get all of the free and needed care that you need. Just as good as covered healthcare.

Funny he chose to rob a Canadian bank to get free healthcare

Around here you won't get pain killers with "free" care. And you get the absolute minimum possible care. And it's only "free" after you jump through hoops and fulfill all their wacky requirements and stay on top of them to make sure they don't "lose" all your paperwork - and the unpaid bill collectors are cutthroat.

Still, it's better than nothing.

I think the point is that you can't be turned away at an ER, and the bill collectors can't collect anything if there's nothing to collect.
