When the government is paying for health care through programs such as Medicare, I think it cost-benefit analyses are reasonable. I don’t want to pay for 100-year-olds getting heart transplants. I do want the freedom to pay for health care not covered by the government.

Who would you trust to make life-or-death decisions about your health care? Your family, in association with your physician? Or a government bureaucrat?

Should life really be viewed solely through the prism of utility? The equivalent of a morning-after pill...???
