Here’s a quick flow chart for how things should work:
If a person is hungry → feed them
If a person needs shelter → house them
If a person is sick → give them healthcare
No ifs, ands, or buts. Everyone should get these things.
@WorkingFamilies yet then come the choices that are no longer banal:

These articles are positive stories (call them marketing if you will), but each of them sheds some light on some difficult choices that need to be made in each individual case. For each positive story, there's also a negative one somewhere to be told. Our contemporary society aims to empower people to make their own choices, but here we're talking about people who can't (or in some cases are unwilling to responsibly) take these choices themselves.
