    Controversial take (though maybe not in this community):

    If it’s needed for survival, it should be free. No exceptions.

      I would much prefer my taxes go toward making insulin to give away than bombs to give away.

        I’d even, gasp, go so far as to say I’d happily give it away to citizens and illegal immigrants alike. Oh hell, everyone on the planet. No strings attached.

        This is where my taxes should go. I can’t stand the rhetoric that it’s bad tax payers are footing the bill for those without insurance and those here illegally. That’s what a society is supposed to do.
