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 and in which to I deserve healthcare:
- 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.
In no case do you deserve to die, and in no case are you
entitled to healthcare, however much you deserve it.
