i’m sorry I still dont follow.
The Government as far as I am aware DOES provide housing for those in need. As I believe they should.
DO you believe they shouldn’t?
I’m not sure what the “decent housing”: distinction is supposed to represent. Are you saying the Government should only pay for healthcare at a not so “decent” hospital. Ok I suppose you can talk me into that though I’m not quite sure why you would make that distinction.
A hospital emergency room is not always enough. for example if someone’s kidneys fail he needs ongoing regular dialysis. He cant just go to an emergency room and be treated. Interestingly, Renal failure is the only condition which DOES have universal health care in this country (thanks to Nixon).
Sadly however there are other conditions that need regular follow up, medications, etc that an emergency room isnt enough for.
