Health care for the homeless is imperative. Not having housing gives you many health issues. Food stamps and Medicaid saved me. I had to wait in long lines at 5 a.m. to get it when I had a broken wrist. I have also had a host of other issues.
The new administration’s efforts to cut health care is angering a lot of Americans. Health care is a human right. Preventing the homeless and poor from securing this basic right is a tragedy in the making. America is an industrialized nation and health care should be available to all.
This is shameful.
