There is a big difference between ER medical care and keeping someone alive for long term with expensive intervention.

That's why I was asking. That and a "discussion" I got into years ago with a canadian on some other board when I suggested that their free health care wasn't free at all, but simply stuck the healthy ones with the cost of the sick ones. At that point the entitlement mindset of the canadian exploded and he told me that he'd had some sort of cancer and it would have cost him (some large amount out of his own pocket say $250,000 - I don't really remember) And when I told him that his misfortune still didn't give him any moral claim to the fruits of the labors of others he went ballistic - like having cancer gives you some sort of immunity to logic.
