Don't fall for that. It's not the poor who are ripping us off. (If it was, would they be poor?)
And if some poor bastard got the genetic penalty box, or has some horrible accident, and can't work, and needs lots of health care? Well, never forget that it coulda been you.
Fucking healthcare (including mental health) for all, regardless of ability to pay, I say. There comes a time when we just have to be compassionate.
Not to mention, it makes us ALL safer. The homeless guy who gets treatment for his tuberculosis won't be spreading that TB to you, or your family. The paranoid schizophrenic who gets help in the form of meds and/or a shrink won't be one shooting up your kids' school.
Think of the bigger picture, and remember your humanity.
