...although we have benefits, I did not want to see those without them go without medical attention..

You call me a "big company hater".

If you want the needy to have medical care become a Mother Teresa and donate all you have to provide it.

If you support the govt taking whats mine to provide medical care to others, you are a socialist.

Regards

No, I'm a Christian. But you stick with denying the poor medical care and calling me a socialist because I don't want to see dead and dying people in the street.

So, here's a real problem:

Let's suppose you are serving in the U.S. Congress.

There are people out there, real people, (your constituents whom you are responsible for representing) who worked hard all their lives and saved a little for their "golden years", who are now facing the stark reality of having to make a choice between eating, and buying prescriptions badly needed for their continued health.

In your version of America, they should just be left to die?

Don't give a "pie in the sky" answer about volunteering, or nonexistent charitable organizations.

I want a real-time solution to a real-time problem.

These people need a solution now, so your solution must exist right now because as a member of the U.S. Congress, you have the Constitutional duty to "provide for...the general welfare" of the United States, and by extent, its citizens.
