9. There have been several articles about people "committing"crimes because they have no health ins.
and want to be thrown in jail to get medical care.

On the local news there was a guy who had cancer, didn't have insurance, so he "robbed" banks so he would get caught. He had no intention of taking any money or harming anyone -- he simply wanted to be charged with robbery so he could go to jail and get the healthcare he needed.

Very sad.
