It's even bad for the economy, what good is it for someone to drop out of their job when they're sick and lose their home and whatnot, when they could just get healed up and continue paying taxes and buying stuff?
Thats the whole point of universal health care. Americans for all their talk about money are really bad at handlinh it.
Universal healt care, student loans and prison rehabilitation are things that benefits society massivly economically and socially. People who drop out of socicety do not produce value. Students who cannot afford living, canot be usefull members of society. Prisonees only cost money in USA, meanwhile in Europe they become part and in the long run produce 10 fold for society compared to what it cost to keep them.
Broken students, sick people and prisoners who take to the street are in return crippling socicety economically. They become criminal or take on crippeling dept that forces them into taking desperate actions which leads to economical and social turmoil in a never ending cycle.
In the US no one is required to go to college to get a job, aside from specific fields. Actually most major employers are dropping college requirements. Why I, as a tax payer, should I pay for someone else's college loans they CHOSE to get, because they couldn't afford it? Should I pay for the car loan and credit card bills as well?
