44. Its not irrelevant to me. Not at all.
And its not about getting even. I simply do not think that the worst of our society should be the ones getting cared for while millions of Americans who play by the rules are getting shafted.

I cant bring myself to feel bad about the lack of wonderful health care in prison while those same millions of Americans get nothing at all. My tax dollars pay for health care for murderers. Meanwhile I cant afford to get the care I need. Why all the emphasis on the prisoners over regular people?

I see these issues as two sides of the same completely effed up coin. Im sorry. I know its not a very liberal point of view. But dammit... I want the regular people taken care of FIRST. Dont want shitty prison health care? Dont go to prison. Its really that simple. But shitty prison health care is better than nothing.
