. But it really isn't our health care tab if you work hard for a good wage and pay high taxes as opposed too someone who works casually, gets free or subsidized health care, food stamps, free school lunch etc. As I have said before, growing up in foster care teaches you a lot. In another time or country I might have been a beggar or prostitute. I lucked out. The people who thought society owed them had a heck of a hard time. People who are thankful for everything they receive and work hard to contribute to society are whom I admire. I could have spent my life depending on social services I am proud to have pulled myself out of poverty. Safety nets are in place to give us a hand up when we are down. No one owes you anything in life. The ACA erases some of the problems, such as pre existing conditions. But somewhere people will be paying, either through premiums or taxes.
