This isn’t a conservative or liberal argument - this is economics 101.
Someone pays the bills of the poor: non-profits, charities, hospital funds set aside for that purpose, or the government through public insurance.
Like I said, hospitals already have a lot on their plate these days and that is not a strawman argument.

Perhaps the solution lies in, not making life easier for more people, but in making it hard enough that they have some motivation to WORK THINGS OUT FOR THEMSELVES. They have a choice of trying to improve their lives by making the effort to be self-reliant, or they have the choice of trying to improve their lives by asking the dwindling number of us who pay taxes to pay MORE.
Your posts would indicate that you have eliminated the whole first option from the available remedies. And that makes it a liberal argument, not at all related to “economics 101”.
