Vulnerable populations

I believe that the idea of "vulnerable populations" is very real, but difficult to define. As a society, much of what determines an individual's class level and circumstances to wealth, opportunities, and access to essential services such as health care can be due to chance alone. While this may be difficult to grasp, there is much truth to this statement. As a result, society must find a balance (especially when it comes to a topic like health care) to accommodate for their fellow man and be able to contribute to a system in which the masses can support these "vulnerable populations." More than anything else, I believe it takes a change in mindset to be able to buy into a "universal" health care system, and understand that "vulnerable populations" have just as much a place in a society as any other, and should have the same access to health care as any other individual as well.
