I have no problem with working on that end. But there are already a number of safety nets for the poor.
If you happen to have a lot of assets when you come down with cancer and you don't have insurance, you are going to end up poor. That is why people who have money and assets are insane if they don't purchase health insurance.
But if you don't have assets and you don't have money, almost every state has some form of MediCal coverage and they don't deny you because you have a pre-existing condition. My daughter was in that position. She had no assets and wasn't making enough money to buy a personal policy. She came down with a debilitating disease, applied for MediCal and now has full coverage with no deductibles. If she had assets or a good job, then she might not have qualified. She isn't going to die in the streets.
She gets better treatment than I do for free and I'm paying $12,000 a year for my crappy coverage.
Something’s broke when you have to go broke to get coverage. I’m trying to figure out the same thing in a different question regarding my property and other assets. I’m told I can sign them over to my kids and thereby won’t lose them if wife or I come down with some serious illness, but it has to be in effect a number of years so as not to look like a manipulation transfer.
Strange world in which we live.
In mosaic law it would have come back to them in the year of jubilee. Sometimes I wonder if that wasn’t a more fair system.
