18. A person with nothing is given medicaid.

The health care law expands eligibility for it. If you're not poor, insurance companies are now required to honor your right to obtain coverage, at the same price as others your age.

The wealthiest country in the world should have no homeless, but "a right" is another thing entirely. A right to live where? In what conditions? At what income level should a person be expected to bear part of the cost?
