Avinash - who in America cannot get a meal, shelter, or healthcare (if desperately needed)? We have soup kitchens and food pantries, homeless shelters, and hospitals cannot deny people without payment.

Yes, we should always, even under any circumstance, provide such services. There are many charities like the Salvation Army and Habitat for Humanity that provide said services. I don't think, however, that it's in anyones business to give them money when they've made such bad decisions.

A lot of hostpitals have shuit down their ERs due to expense, there are a lot of homeless shelters that have to turn people away due to too little funding, the fact is we can't always supply those minimla serivces to everyone, and even where we can the expense is higher than it would be if the governemtn were to take the role and do it themselves directly
