The government SUCKS at screening, and the churches already do it. The only separation of church and state is that the government cannot mandate a state religion.  We have freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM religion. Churches would include institutions like the salvation army, and maybe the red cross. They are all already skilled at doing these things. We are talking about financial screening to provide access to service.
Doctors only should do medical screening. NOT insurance companies or the govt EVER.

The whole point is to not have the govt OR the insurance companies screening or running things.

There is absolutely no reason to push small medical practices out and more than there is to push small businesses out. I for one do not want Walmart healthcare.. sorry. People of all ages get the best healthcare when the doctor and nurse recognize their name or face..

I am well aware of the numbers of homeless teens. For many many years I sponsored a couple of teens a semester to the community college, and if they did well they got another semester till they graduated. Several of those were homeless. Others were teen parents.

There are also a HUGE number of homeless vets.. which is a dang shame on us!


And there ARE a HUGE HUMONGEOUS population of people who have been gaming welfare for years.. sorry.  I personally know of several families right here in Portland who have been on welfare for generations without ever working a day. We are talking great grandmother, grandmother right on down. They think their life shill is making babies..
So maybe we need to redefine gaming.
Many homeless people remain homeless because they do not game.
And the other population to consider are the elderly poor. But not today, as I am very tired.

Maybe we should have a debate/discussion topid for this stuff??
