I absolutely agree with Senator Sanders and the side of the argument that says it is crucial to immediately address the needs of people better, and to address the root causes of poverty. However, this side sometimes does not give enough credit for some of the good steps and work currently being done. The other side, while touting the good work being done, downplays the need and uses the current efforts as an appeasement of guilt felt in the face of such huge need, i.e. an excuse to not do more.
I actually laughed out loud at one of the responses to the question as to whether or not people are dying because they are not getting medical attention. People who cannot afford health care insurance absolutely are dying because they cannot afford medical intervention . . . they are living shorter lives and dying from things that should not kill them. Adding to the absurdity of the response that people were not dying because of lack of insurance was that the "expert" making the statement was a plastic surgeon!
