because some of us don't have the heart to watch folks in our community die of preventable disease because they could not afford health insurance, or even simply watch families go broke broke broke paying for (over) expensive expensive expensive health care

the county of Los Angeles determined recently that it would save nearly $100,000 tax payer dollars every two years for EACH individual homeless person in the county, as the city on average payes $180,000 a year on the combined costs of county hospital visits, food assistance and incarceration, where as if the city would pay to house these folks in programs, it would cost the city only $80,000 every two years.
Now for you idiots who say, "why spend $40,000 a year on homeless people handouts?" simple, because if you
don't preventively spend the money,
you spend it in reaction, and it costs
more. THE TAXPAYERS WILL PAY ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, the QUESTION IS HOW TO SAVE COSTS!!!
