There aren't too many hospitals in rural areas. Where's the NYT article about this inequity?

The government is providing most with a roof over their head. It's up to the individual to keep it from being "poor housing conditions ".

Also, last time I checked, every child in this country has a free education available to them. In fact, those that are urban poor, more than likely has a school in very close proximity to their residence.

Further, affirmative action actually makes it MORE accessible to education if you are a minority.
