My personal feelings is more needs to be done to bring all disadvantaged into a better life full of promise. Employment, education and or training yes even welfare. In this country where we have less then 1% earning hundreds of times the average workers salary and others homeless and starving a balance needs to be obtained. If not a forced one will come about in time, history has shown over and over.

If someone has a wound that is bleeding, no one complains about the futility of 'throwing bandages at the problem.' And if they need some stitching up, you get them that. And if they need some nursing, and some antibiotics, that too. You do what it takes to heal the wound, or it doesn't heal well, and breaks back open.
How things are in terms of economic justice, both for you and the guy getting out of the hospital, is important. It's not to be disregarded or deferred, but it's another question.
