I am on the express bus and somehow and for some reason Donald Trump and his followers came to my mind regarding health care. I got a little concerned because for a moment I thought my thinking is like theirs.
When it comes to social services I think the United States should be a little more selfish. Every citizen born in this country should be entitled so some form of food, clothing and shelter. It shouldn't have to be grade A bit it should be standard. People should be encouraged of course to have their own but some type of safety net would be there for those who don't. Once again nothing extravagant or nothing the average person would aspire to have. Just some place clean and free from the elements. Not steak but the basics.
For legal immigrants something similar would be offeres. Not on the level of what a US citizen would get but something substantial. it would reflct the difference between a citizen and non citizen with status.
For illegals or undocumented aliens the bare essentials would be provided. They wouldn't be homeless but any handout wouldn't be more substantial than a citizen or non citizen with status.
I know. Pipe dreams.
