Quote:Absolutely not. But I think if a homeless person can't get a job and get some kind of medical insurance, they're a waste anyway. The unemployment rate in VA is under 4%, meaning you really have to either be such an asshole that you can't hold a job, or you have to basically WANT to be jobless.
You have a point about the little boy scenario, but there is usually a way they'll work with you on payments. It's really uncommon for a patient that needs life-saving treatment to be turned away, as it's against medical ethics to allow a patient to die.
Alot of homeless people suffer from mental I'llness and really should be put in homes to recieve proper care.
Not all Homeless people dont work , Ive seen alot of Hoboes working part time at Wal'mart . They live in a beat up car but cant afford a simple apartment, All their money goes to gas and food and cant really get insurance coverage or afford a proper health care. Should they die too because of their poor education?
the only people I can agree that do need a kick in the ass are Runaways ages 16- 19 and up, that live on the street ,steal and commit crimes to survive.To me they should either be rehabilitated into society and returned to their families or sent to the military to do service to their country and recieve proper discipline and education.
I put the homeless and poor into categories.
1.mentaly I'll = Need to be place in proper care for thier needs.
2. uneducated = Need Education and rehebilitation
3.The Rare truly unfortunate. = same as number 2
4. lazy leaches.= Kicked in the ass and sent to Jail.
5. Runaways. = Either same as number 2 or they go to do military service and get to see world and see how truly fortunate they are.
AS for healthcare service abuse ,Those patients need to be sent to a local clinic.
If you have Heart burn it could very well seem like a heart attack , so that really is just a miss call that cant really be avoided.
As for colds and Flus only small children and those with weak imune systems should be admited such as the Elderly.
To me its not the patients to blaim its poor management it sounds to me its your States trying to place blaim on other people for there poor managing.
