Medical ethics have never, ever taught that other people (taxpayers) should be made to pay for everything that anyone wants.
Sad, but I suspect it is accepted as the right thing to do now. The newer generations are not steeped in love for their country, nor the freedoms they enjoy here. Most Americans have NO IDEA how lucky we are to live here. They should have to experience the norms of a Socialist country, before doing everything they can to destroy our country.
Seems to me the average FReeper response in these cases is “Keep them alive at all costs”. Well, then who’s cost? And if it’s “everybody’s” cost, then how is that not socialized medicine?
