Sex offender accused in rapes of 2 girls - Houston Chronicle
This case is a SAD example of why I think the Criminal Justice
system should be the focus of reform to pay for health care.
Instead of imposing federal insurance mandates, and fines creating
a whole new class of people to be punished financially, losing their rights and choices in health care
without having committed ANY crime, just to pay for health insurance through Govt,
Why not go after the REAL CRIMINALS costing taxpayers tens of thousands per year each,
and find a way to credit THAT back to the public to pay for health care
(and have the CRIMINALS work off the debts, not charge them to lawabiding citizens
who did not commit these crimes or incur these costs).
Why are we AVOIDING the real costs that could cover health care?
And just taking shortcuts to impose new ways to pay for it that deprive lawabiding citizens of their freedom?
Why not hold the CRIMINALS responsible for costs they incur,
instead of punishing taxpayers?
(Normally I cite cases of criminals who shoot people who end up in the emergency room.)
This article is about a rapist/serial sex offender who infected
an infant and 14 year old girl with HIV and other STD that already have
required medical treatment and even surgery, and will require expensive help perhaps the rest of their lives)
WHO SHOULD PAY FOR THIS, the Public or the Criminal?
