... "jakdedert" wrote in message news  Add to that the fact that lack of access to quality health care is in itself a major cause of poverty. In addition, paying for a single health issue has caused many formerly solvent individuals and families to slip below the poverty level. William Sommerwerck wrote: A _major_ cause? I don't think so. Maybe we are just playing semantics with the word "major", but I would respectfully suggest you look up the number of people in the last 10 to 15 years that have been 'rightsized', 'downsized' or otherwise lost their job and benefits. It is in the *millions*. Do you think that is "major"? I don't know the statistics, other than that it is not uncommon. The original statement was (see above) "a major cause of poverty". It is unquestionably _not_ a major cause of poverty. But if you restate it as "a major cause of people falling into poverty" (which is something different), I would not disagree. Everyone should receive the medical treatment they need -- this is one mark of a "civilized" society, that places value on each individual. How this should be achieved is the question. |
