Aside from the moral issue, tehre is an important pragmatic issue that the Obama people don’t get — the more we invest in saving the cancer-striken like this man’s son, the closer we get to a cure in the future — whereas if we just pull the plug, our research and knowledge remains static. And that’s just stupid.

Yes! Thanks for expanding on that point. There is a big picture downside to Obamacare, which is that the engine of medical innovation for the entire world will be shut down. This is one small example of how.
