Yes, its called a developed society and compassion for a fellow less fortunate man. Christianity for example has this at its absolute core, as do all other religions. But since I saw first hand how US population in general sees and treats homeless and those with mental issues, I dont think the message gets through.
Whole (not only) western world can make such system work for a fraction of US healthcare costs, why shouldnt US?
Maybe in 5 years after some health issue or accident you will end up on sone lifelong treatment, then you may reconsider how others will help you survive.
- viraptor 2y ago> Christianity for example has this at its absolute core, Some Christian groups have it at the core. There's lots of those that will be happy to see others suffer.
- idiotsecant 2y agoChristianity with a capital C has rules. If you don't obey them you are not Christian.
- viraptor 2y agoIn theory, sure. But once those not obeying the rules become a large part of the system without a serious pushback, it means the rules don't really matter. For example there's a national Catholic radio station which has been told off by the pope and... still runs and has local church support. Signed, "little devil" as called by my "Christian" family listening to it. At some point it's just playing no-true-Scotsman, while the original meaning of the word died.
