Morrocco said he intentionally got himself arrested in hopes that a federal judge would send him to prison for a violation of supervised release.
That way, Morrocco said, he would be able to get “prison health care that is very good” – health care that he says he cannot afford as a free man.
“It was an act of desperation. I went into that store and took things I didn’t need, and I made sure a lot of people saw me,” the 56-year-old Morrocco told The Buffalo News. “At the time I did it, I felt that I didn’t have any other way to get the care that I need for my leukemia.”
I am very interested to get an international perspective on this.

This happens more than people think. If you're starving, cold, and out on the street...just commit a crime and intentionally get caught. You'll get food and a warm place to stay for free.
No I am not advocating violence. But if I were homeless, I would have to say the thought would cross my mind.

I heard a similar thing, a dude in the USA robbed a bank for only $1 just so he could go to jail and get the medical treatment he needed. Such a sad story.

I will never understand why americans refuse to have a free healthcare system with the option to go private... Perhaps due to many issues but the managing of it would be immense at the very least.
As for the man... It's just tragic for him for sure, if i was in his position im not sure i wouldnt think of doing it

More leftist propaganda by democrats and liberals looking for free handouts. This man could work and get insurance instead of having to go to jail on PURPOSE just to get healthcare. Now his costs are going to be picked up by the state, along with the cost to keep him jailed for his crimes. Did they give him a free cellphone also?
HEY GUYS!! LETS GIVE FREE HAND OUTS FOR ANYTHING!! SCREW HAVING TO WORK!!!

Reading is hard, I know, but if you do it every now and then you will be much better off. I am not going to read it for you. You have the right to remain ignorant. Originally Posted by Chingylol

Glad to see you actually read the story and you're not just another person with access to the internet to voice their 1% loving, money > people opinion. Appalling to say the least. Originally Posted by Chingylol

Speaking as someone with a permanent health condition that will eventually kill me, I can say that *at present* I'd take steps to not have to rely on prison healthcare.
That said, to each their own. Originally Posted by melodramocracy

2012-12-11, 04:50 PM #14Recently, I read a pretty cogent argument on the internet (shocker) that went something like "our healthcare should not be held hostage by corporations", and it made me think the US should just go all the way to single payer. Originally Posted by Manakin

I'm sure you've reactionaries in your country, too.

If we're gonna spend all this money on healthcare, let's take some of it from prisons, where the "bad people" are, and start spending it on the free world.
It's pronounced "Dur-av-ian."

When it's tied to Obama, and a portion of America believes that Obama is trying to ruin America, I have doubts that it's going to happen anytime soon. Originally Posted by Cattaclysmic
