Some of the sick have bad luck. Some bad genes. But the most expensive problems are caused by lifestyle issues. If you want to smoke 2 packs a day and drink a case of beer every day, don’t ask me to pay for your lung transplant.
If you are too stupid to sign a DNR form at the hospital when you have stage 4 lung cancer, on dialysis, and certain to die without ever recovering from your surgery, please don’t expect me to pay the $500,000 that your last 30 days costs as the doctors try to keep you alive.
If your baby is born with an addiction because you are a heroin or crack user, it will cost someone $300,000 to $500,000 in pre and post natal care. Don’t expect me to pay for it.
However, if you are a vet who needs a replacement prosthesis for the leg that got shot off in Afghanistan, we should send a limo to pick you up and get you to the hospital.

Yes it’s horrible. But WHAT is your alternative?
Euthanize people as soon as their money runs out?
Kick them into the street and force everyone to dodge vomit, blood and feces as they all die?
Put them into prisons and let them die in a cage?
WHAT?? SOMEONE please give a solution besides “in not paying for those bums”. They dont disapear if you simply stop paying
