    The only way I can reconcile your statement is if you finish it with “if they can afford it”. Which also makes your statement meaningless. No one was ever arguing that business denies products/services to those who can pay for them.

    Health care, food, and shelter are all in high demand, necessary for survival, and if you can’t afford it, you are denied it.
