[QUOTE="IronSnake, post: 16240914, member: 46336"] He asked, I obliged. I get the cost of living is high in a lot of ways, and I get people should have a reasonable expectation of standard of living. But I also don't think society is personally responsible for providing anything more than life and liberty. A persons quality of life is up to them. A serious issue is that the proportion of a persons expenses is much different. In Gates case, he could pay 100k a month for health insurance, and it would be less than 1% of his income. A low tiered employee at a fast food location, walmart, target, etc, they may pay 25 a week. That could be 5-10% of their total income. Which is a lot more valuable when you consider that their excess income is much smaller. But just the same, does society deserve to pay for that disparity? Health care doesn't get any less expensive or important based on your income. [/QUOTE]
