Poor is of course a relative term and where that lies is irrelevant to this discussion. In the end it comes down to do think something is a right or a privilege. In the case of health care is it a privilege that only the people who can afford it get or is it a right that everyone should have.
In many cases we have decided things are rights (public education for example). Currently the US is set up where health care is a privilege. For me letting people go sick and hungry needlessly goes against my Christian morals. Thus I am in favor of universal health care.
