Imagine I have a fatal, but treatable, illness. The treatment costs more than I could personally afford. Due to my financial situation I can't afford any health insurance.

In which, if any, of the following cases do I deserve to die:

  • 1) I was a hard working citizen but due to no fault of my own I lost my job and am currently looking for work but unable to find any.
  • 2) I am a child born into a poor family.
  • 3) I have never worked due to laziness.
  • 4) I did have a job but got fired for a valid reason. Due to my employment history, I am unable to find another job.
  • 5) I committed a criminal offence and was sent to prison. I am now out of prison and can't find work due to my criminal record.

Deserve to die? None.

I think you mean, which of the above justifies coercing others to help you and again the answer is "none".

I've edited the question to clarify this point.
