It's funny, when a law benefits others it's socialism and a bad thing, when 
it benefits us, it isn't socialism and is a good thing.  Every year in my 
work, I meet four or five people who are legally blind because of untreated 
glaucoma.  And why is their glaucoma untreated?  Because they have no Health 
Insurance that's why.  Now, they will get SSI money out of the U.S Treasury 
for the rest of their lives, they will get health insurance through title 
xix, and they will swallow thousands of tax dollars through vocational 
rehabilitation.  These people tend to be people of color, and people with 
poor educations.  It's no shame to be blind, but it's no great honor either.
I just hate to see people become blind and a burden on the tax payer 
unnecessarily.
