Refugees, jobless Americans, and a second chance

There are two points I need to mention. Reading the article, I see a similarity between the refugees who seek medical care and those people in the U.S who are sick but lose their health insurance when they become jobless. Both groups can not get medical care at the time that they need it most. So the argument is the same. From the humanitarian perspective, both groups, and in fact all groups, are deserving for getting medical care.

For explaining my second point, I should repeat the argument that is used against the "undeserved". Some claim that it is their fault that they are sick, and the society does not have to take care of them; and that if they tried harder, they could've avoided the bad situation. Well, then I must say that the followers of this argument do not believe in second chances, surprisingly. And that's surprising because for example in our society, we get second chances for almost everything. From dropping classes to returning merchandize, we get second chances everyday. But we don't get it for an important thing such as life-quality. So if some blame those people for putting themselves in such bad positions, they could at least believe in giving them a second chance. And a second chance for improving one's quality of life could never be real without the most basic need provided, which is health.
