I was wondering how far your “Life is Priceless” bit extended.

Have you never paid Medicare/Medicaid taxes? Do you not feel that you are entitled to money that YOU paid in?

I've got a question for you, my family is very wealthy, if I needed medical treatment money wouldn't even be an issue (not to mention that I have excellent health insurance, and disability insurance, and long-term care insurance), so why do you believe that my life is worth more than your life? I don't think my life is worth more than yours, I'm certain God doesn't think my life is worth more than yours, help me understand why you don't feel the same way.

Because, if we both got very ill, an illness that required ' lot of doctoring' as they say, you would have more financial resources to throw at the problem.

I have a million dollars, you may have ten or a hundred times as much. If the condition was curable for, say two million, one of us would make it, and one wouldn't.

That's how life is in a capitalistic society, which is an awful society, but all the others are much worse.
