WHY Prisoners get Free Health CARE in CALIFORNIA?

Common people in California can barely afford Healthcare. Why shouldnt Prisioners have to pay for it? ie I need a joint replacement. My cost for freedom is to pay an arm and leg for health care and a top premium copay to get it replaced. And be stuck with Bills out the ying yang and still pay taxes for Prisoners go to the ER and receive free health care/Dental care/ eye care. Something needs to be done. People are struggleing out here. The cost of Childcare is crazy. Try going to school to better yourself and pay childcare along with rent and car insurance health insurance and other general bills. For the less fourtunate its a battle. I know theres some out there with some rude thoughts but keep them to your self. S*@! happens. The yearly cost to house a prisoner is 33k a year along with all the Free healthcare they want. I know some are thinking thats the price of freedom I dont want to hear it. We ppl should not be strugglin this hard. The welfare system is a loophole.anothr sub

Reply:It's not just CA prisoners, it's everywhere. Despite what they've done, many of them live better lives in prison than we do at home. Free tv, 3 square meals a day. Hot showers. Clean sheets, warm blankets. Dental care, vision care, medical care. How many families go without that? Yeah, they should have to work for it in jail to earn those benefits just like everybody else. And then there are the illegals who are getting the same. Ron Paul's website gets more supporters every day for that very reason. And yet you're made to feel like white trash if you apply for heap 'cause you can't afford to heat your home, or have to get on food stamps so your kids don't go hungry. But you're made to feel like trash anyway, even though you've paid into the system for years.. But in all fairness, I gotta say, there are innocent people in jail too.
Reply:Jail in the United States is hell. You're under constant threat of violence or rape, you are bored to death most of the time, you get ordered around by morons in uniform, and should you get sick your health care is contracted out to private corporations that will deny you vital care because they know that no one gives a whit if you die. In many prisons you can't have visitors. In others, visitation is allowed but the prison officials will screw with your visitors even if they make appointments, to the point where your own family gives up on trying. I don't know where you're getting your ideas from, but they're wrong.
