How the hell am I being a hypocrite? I practiced what I preach. Even when I was struggling, I always was able to afford health insurance. Not because I was rich, or because I had connections, but because I made specific decisions that ensured a constant health coverage.

Yes I could've used help, but refused it. Not accepting handouts made me a better person. It tought me to always rely on myself and use the tools that I gained to come out on top.

I have no doubt that you will succeed in life. But this is America. A free capitalist society that gives everyone a chance to make more of themselves. So sorry if I don't feel like it's Uncle Sam's responsibility to wipe the less fortunates ass.
