health care.

In your opinion, what does someone need to do to deserve health care? It's been interesting to watch Jimmy Kimmel and then the negative reaction to Jimmy Kimmel which can basically be summed up like this: 

Jimmy: every child deserves health care. 

Negative reaction: not if I have to pay for it. Some don't deserve it. 

Ignoring that we all pay for everything that happens to people in this country, in one way or another, it brings up an interesting question. 

Would you pay for health care for someone? What makes someone deserving of health care?

A family member?
A friend? 
A sad story? 
Never? 
Always? 
The innocent?
The smart?
The wise?

The answer to that question says a lot about how we see ourselves, especially compared to those around us.
