Do YOU think that those who cannot afford to pay their medical bills should be left to die?

Do you think the Government should take money from me at the point of a gun to pay for it?

Because if you do, you are basically advocating rationing and death panels.

Bullcrap.

Why do you seem to oppose the conservative pro-life condition?

When did the 'conservative' position become forcing one person with the threat of fines, prison, and ultimately death if they don't want to provide money of their own free will?

Or do you just think that the disabled don't deserve to live?

I think people deserve to keep the fruits of their labors without a bunch of Nanny State busybodies demanding their money for whatever pet cause it is they think is 'moral'.

Theft isn't moral no matter the reason you're stealing for.

I didn’t know they were forced to serve as guardians. Could you provide a link to back that up.

So if a disabled human cannot produce fruit, should he be euthanized?

Also, I didn’t see any indication that his guardians are forced to pay for his care out of their own funds. I’d like a link for that too.

That's not the point. Do YOU think those who cannot afford to pay their medical bills should be left to die? YES or NO.

When did the 'conservative' position become forcing one person with the threat of fines, prison, and ultimately death if they don't want to provide money of their own free will?

So, YOU think the conservative position should be to let people die for lack of medical care?

I think people deserve to keep the fruits of their labors without a bunch of Nanny State busybodies demanding their money for whatever pet cause it is they think is 'moral'.

So, you consider life a "pet cause"?

I don’t support most state paid health care. But we have it.

And we have no alternative safety nets, because they have largely been dismantled due to the extreme welfare hammock.

So we are in that awkward in between place.

I don’t support Medicare. But having had all these folks including myself pay into it since employed, it makes me angry when honest Medicare claims are denied, as in the case with an elderly relative of mine. He “paid” for it.

You and I “pay” for the health care of handicapped people, especially the many abandoned by their families (whether deliberately or because they have passed away or whatever).

Since I “pay” for that care, I want it paid out.

I’d like to work back to a system of personal responsibility, then family responsibility, then church or charity responsibility.

But when you have people who just can’t care for themselves (like a 5 year old) and the parents can’t or won’t care for them, and there is no extended family to care for them, what do you do? Force a church or the Red Cross? Sue the Salvation Army? Let the kid die by the side of the road?

Either the very dependent are going to be left literally to die, or the government is going to have to make some provision for the worst case scenarios. These would be minors, severely physically handicapped, seriously crazy, severely retarded, and the very frail elderly.

I am all for suing and jailing deliberately negligent parents, also.
