So, you characterize paying for healthcare for the poor as being on The Dole? Interesting.
I know everytime I'm in the emergency room looking at those poor families waiting for treatment I'm thinking, "it's vile that they let these people in here with me, someone who works for a corporation that offers health benefits, they should be on the sidewalk dying, not here in the government subsidized air conditioning with their betters. Hell, if I had my way, my company wouldn't even have to provide health insurance at all, and arbitrary market forces and lack of consumer protections would completely control my health care fate!"
Okay, you are right. If we let Americans die in the street for being poor, then we could fund a War on Iraq and have some change left over.
I fail to see that this is a practical or human answer, but I will agree with you that it is possible.
