For any economic system to function there must be an incentive to make most people get up in the morning and go to work, produce something. The more government provides, the less incentive there is. Already we have half the people paying for the other half. That can't continue forever.
NO!

no longer all human beings has the money to place into an HSA. you're assuming plenty. additionally, the government is attempting to get rid of classes that help needy families, yet nonetheless provide help to those that at the instant are not even attempting and to unlawful immigrants. So low earnings families who conflict to get by using, who have no coverage and not a single dime left over, and who do no longer qualify for any counsel because of the fact they have a job, even nevertheless that interest does not conceal the bare needs. AND those are people who're tax payers and deserve a similar rights as all human beings else. I happen to be a style of human beings who falls contained in direction of the cracks. i will particularly help my little ones, yet i do no longer qualify for something. So what you're suggesting is thoroughly unrealistic.

Death from exposure and starvation might negate the need to pay for the health care as well as getting rid of the unemployed! So yeah, no food or shelter for the brave soldiers when they get home and find that they're not wanted anymore.
