I agree that saving money is essential for anyone, and people who
do not save, fully deserve a fair amount of trouble.

Some people really *can't* save. That excludes those who can't save
mostly because they waste their money on crap, and especially those
who whine about how crap is essential.

I think that when such people, who worked, saved, and did their duty
otherwise, cannot afford to treat their cancer, and cannot get medical
coverage, it is an atrocity.

It's also an atrocity that the poor have to do without even the most
basic treatment. That's a false economy, and other countries do
better. This is a great outfit http://www.freeclinics.us/ and worthy
of donations. It's a national embarrassment that it needs to exist
though. A whole lot of the patients are employed, but doing without
basic healthcare.
