Somebody who makes a $1,000.00 per week will figure out how to get by. A single mom who makes a $1,000 or so a month is going to be hard pressed to come up with that extra money every month. Forcing a person into a situation where they either get health care or don't get quite enough to eat is not called allowing them to "contribute to their station." Its called putting them between a rock and a hard place.

Where did you ever get "contributing to their station," anyhow? You come off as sounding like some arrogant member of the Victorian upper class.
