He's still an bad person. He just happens to be correct.
What is he correct about?
you think that most homeless people "morally" and "spriritually" reject healthcare?
It is hard to make the case that any person "morally" and "spiritually" rejects healthcare and be a Christian.
The rest of his rhetoric is just as bad and makes it clear he does not view poor, sick patients, who have likely never had a primary care physician in their lives as unworthy of care and he, despite his protestation, is judging and condemning them in the most harsh terms imaginable.
Why are you so focused on that one part?
Homeless people in reality consume a ton of health care resources, relatively.
I am focused on what he actually said in a quote. You and KSUW are very focused on inferring from what he said an implied argument about the best way to provide health care.
He actually said these people don't want the health care, not even because they are too stupid, but because they morally and spiritually don't want it. Those are the words he chose to use.
Your assertion that poor people "consume a ton of health services, relatively" doesn't seem correct to me at all. Of course hospital visits are more expensive than regular preventative care, but I don't think you have much basis to make the claim (maybe you have some sources?) when the topic of discussion is all about how poor people are currently NOT consuming the health services they are entitled to.
Now the reasons why very poor people don't seek out care are completely different. I will add, he doesn't even seem to address that idea at all as he goes on to further say that even with the credit card" of "Medicaid" these people wait until they are very sick to seek out care. He, again, reflexively thinks this is an inherent flaw in these people unworthy of examination beyond blaming them for their circumstances and, again despite his own protestation, judging them in the harshest possible terms.
