On 373, is your answer yes? I think it is but you wouldn't have them dragged off to some pit for burial.

You've asked two separate questions in one sentence.

would you be agreeable to allowing the dead ... to be just set aside and dragged off to some pit as they decompose?

Right now, at the most expensive and developed hospitals in the United States, the dead are set aside immediately in refrigerators until their families call for the body. Insurance has nothing at all to do with this, and your horrific image is a silly polemic trick.

And, if that is the case, would you be agreeable to allowing...the dying to be just set aside and dragged off to some pit as they decompose?

What to do with dying people who want free medical services is a hard problem. No question that since universal insurance, MUCH more money is spent in hospitals in the last week of life that was the case before.

The directive from most families is, "do everything!"

I'm not sure that you should be able to steal from your neighbors to get "everything" done, especially if, as in your question, the beggar in question is really dying.

Decomposition occurs after death and is not relevant to this part of your question.
