Nothing wrong with helping. Why does it have to be through government?

I agree with that. But personally with a country this size it's hard for me to think of any other way of doing it across the board without the governments involvement.
If someone started a health company that insured poor americans for cheep and could give it to the homeless for free I would say, what government ,and just give my money to those guys.
Why not charities, churches, and non-profits?
Nothing is free. Insurance can be cheap, it depends on what the coverage and risk ratios are.

You don't get money from healthy people either. You get money from sick or injured people trying to get healthy.
Dead people don't need doctors and neither do healthy people. It's that area between the two where people pay up.

I guess they can raise tax to 80% of income and put 90% of the population on medicaid.
