    Stop it. That's just not true. We have an extremely large safety net in this country. Four health insurance programs — Medicare, Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace subsidies — together accounted for 25 percent of the budget in 2019, or $1.1 trillion.25% of the federal budget. About 8 percent of the federal budget in 2019, or $361 billion, supported programs that provide aid (other than health insurance or Social Security benefits) to individuals and families facing hardship. In 2019, 23 percent of the budget, or $1 trillion, paid for Social Security, which provided monthly retirement benefits averaging $1,503 to 45 million retired workers in December 2019. Social Security also provided benefits to 3 million spouses and children of retired workers, 6 million surviving children and spouses of deceased workers, and 10 million disabled workers and their eligible dependents in December 2019. https://www.cbpp.org/research/federa...tax-dollars-go

    Americans gave $449.64 Billion to charity in 2019. https://www.nptrust.org/philanthropi...ng-statistics/ An estimated 25.1 percent of US adults volunteered in 2017, contributing an estimated 8.8 billion hours, valued at approximately $195.0 billion. Approximately 77 million Americans—30% of the adult population—volunteer their time, talents, and energy to making a difference.

    How many vets have you taken to a park? How many disabled children have you pushed on a swing?
    How many handicap camp picnic tables have you painted? Lawns cut? backstops put in? slow pitch games pitched?
    How many days have you volunteered?
    How many days have you stood and collected donations in a snow storm?


    In the USA, American Society largely embraces and helps people that need help.
    Thank you for a detailed and informative answer. Sadly many people are still suffering.


    Fortunately have neither dependents nor have I incurred unpayable debts. I do not set my ambitions beyond my ability and willpower.

    I am sorry. In USA, tens of millions of people are in poverty. 27 million people have no medical insurance. Hundreds of thousands are homeless.

    Hundreds of thousands of people die each year from preventable causes.

    Scandinavia and Canada also help all people in need.

    This is utter nonsense. Where did you ever get this idea?

    Considering the huge number of non-contributors in this country, producing nothing of value and spending their entire adult lives with a hand out begging for everything, it's amazing that the State at various levels has enough in the way of financial resources to maintain any sort of health and safety net for them at all. That that safety net is not woven of the finest silk and sweetly perfumed is just a damned shame, but quite honestly there is only so much anyone is able to do for some people.

    As for the homeless, there are poor and homeless people virtually everywhere in the world. Being homeless in America is like a stroll in Paradise compared with being homeless in many other places. As Sam Kinison used to say, "People in other countries would kick your ass to be homeless in America".

    All you ever do, all you've ever done is complain about your life.

    Making the rich pay for every poor person in the country isn't the answer, yet all of your threads always end up coming around to that......"boo hoo, poor me, some people have so much more than me, all the rich people need to pay for every poor person's Healthcare......."

    It doesn't sound like you have it so bad, you're being taken care of, you aren't homeless, you have parents, it sounds like you have it better than a lot of other people.
