Yes we pay a ridiculous amount of taxes. But as of now we don’t have socialized medicine where all people’s medical care is paid for by the state. So if a person is put on life support then insurance and the individual deal with the cost. So, no, you don’t already pay for indefinite life support for anyone who needs it.

Ergo, neither do you.

Shared costs make grand and baseless asuumptions such as all those doctors, nurses, technicians, the lights, A/C, and all other hospital subsystems are only fired up for each “measured” case.

The reality is that a hospital and government services that provide utility to the public at large have fixed costs set mostly by administrators and it is only through the multiple charging of the shared true costs of these fixed costs that outrageous figures for care are then stated as though the hospital was spending nothing if nobody used it on a given day.

If you are so eager to see someone die, join the military.
