> Did you read the article in full?

My point is that the article doesn't contain all relevant data.

> A doctor ordering what some would call excessive tests for a patient is doing the right thing.

May be doing the right thing. Some people think that my life is worth $X. Who's to say that they're correct?

> Consider the complicated medical conditions that homeless contract on the streets with illness on top of illness requiring weeklong ICU visits, it becomes drastically reduced if a person is living in a home.

Assumes behavior not in evidence. Homeless in SF have "not street" options that they refuse. What makes you think that they'll take different options AND that their risks will chance correspondingly.

I note that lots of folks with homes manage to get "street illnesses" so it's not true that homes solve disease. There's a decent correlation for current "homed" populations, but that doesn't tell us what would happen if we "homed" other populations.
