We legally require drug makers to donate 10% of their product -- the people get it for free and the government doesn't foot the bill.
We require doctors to do a certain number of charity hours at a free clinic -- free clinics open, government doesn't pay,
If you make less than poverty line, you don't pay taxes out of your check.
Everyone else pays the same percentage.
People who are on *charity* are actually given foodstuffs, clothing, medicine, etc, and their bills are paid on their behalf.
