Does the Poverty "Safety net" need to be changed?

(Digging into the healthcare part of the poverty issue)

Meet Tianna Gaines-Turner. Her kids have healthcare but she and her husband do not. She became homeless because her child's medical situation was too expensive and it drained her savings and decided to live in a hotel. Her children have medical disabilities, but so does she. The "Safety net' is anything but safe for her. The problem she identifies is that if she starts to build and income and gets out--just barely--of poverty, the "Safety net" goes away, even if she is still in crisis. Mauricio Miller argues that the safety net should not be calculated by a formula; rather, it should be determined on a case-by-cae basis. Do you agree?

There's no doubt that the safety net as it is is an issue. People should be allowed to get their footing for some time after they get enough income to be "out" of the safety net. The government has gotten too tied up in bureaucracy over the whole thing, and the net has become full of holes, especially with Congress in a deadlock over every blessed thing right now. A case-by-case analysis, while possibly expensive, is something I think is desperately needed within our welfare system. Everyone needs to have an equal chance at success, and right now the successful are throwing those less fortunate under the bus and it disgusts me.
