Basic Medical Care ?
I guess we need to decide, as a society and country, what basic medical care is.
If you are Mae Magouirk, it doesn’t include food and water.
If, however, you are a criminal….you can get an organ transplant courtesy of the taxpayers.
Why do we excuse and explain criminal or irresponsible behavior, while at the same time not rewarding responsible and moral behavior?
Do you think this is perhaps why we have so many more people than we used to in our society, that are violating everyone else's rights?
Because it's become almost accepted?
After all, you aren't really a criminal...you are just another victim of poverty, society,or your parents.....ad nauseum.
Just ask Oprah.......
I had a personal experience with this phenomenon[on a lesser level] in a rural county where the schools couldn’t afford to have art classes, yet the prisoners at the local Level Four State Prison had all sorts of art classes. The irony of it was really brought home to us all when the prisoners designed and made a mosaic wall in the town playground.
This prison held mostly murderers and pedophiles…….
Are you getting the picture yet?
Common sense people..….America needs a big dose of it.
Here is a classic example right here in Washington State..........
From King 5 news...
> The Department of Corrections medical director, Dr. Marc Stern, is bracing for criticism that a prisoner will receive such a costly operation.
“I would understand that, however we're bound to execute the 8th Amendment as we interpret it and provide basic medical care, and as we see it, this is basic medical care," Stern said.
