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.

So it is fine for me to die even if I don't deserve death?

Never said it was fine. I said you can't pay for it out of my pocket if I don't want to help you. Find someone (or a group of them) who is willing to help, and let them pay. Don't force complete strangers to upon threat of violence or death.

What if nobody is willing to help? Then is it ok for me to die? Also, I would never threaten violence or death because both are immoral.
