And that this type of thing can occur in "the richest country in the world" is appalling.
I don't want "the government" to "pay for freeloaders". But there are indeed ways for we citizens as a country - for our goverment - to make sure everyone in the country can purchase good, complete healthcare and pay their own way.
The Republicans want to do the opposite.
