Comparing the level of care between Medicaid and the basic Sécurité Sociale benefits leads me to question this assertion. Same for public transit, the lack thereof in most of America severly handicaps the poor who do not have a car. Education too: the poor have the opportunity to put their kids through college or even med school. Yes there are higher failure rates among the poor, but 75% of the poor still graduate HS and if they make it past that, they've cleared the hardest hurdle (fewer dropouts among poor in college than MS/HS). http://www.education.gouv.fr/cid5008/les-trajectoires-scolaires-des-enfants-pauvres.html http://www.education.gouv.fr/cid5008/les-trajectoires-scolai...
