This isn't about Christian ethics, it's about your tax payer funded medicaid/medicare gravy train. Well, that gravy train is about to come to a stop whether you like it or not thanks to a $1.6 trillion budget deficit.
Would you ration care in order to subsidize welfare checks? Planned Parenthood? A new aircraft carrier or nuclear sub?
I think you're the one arguing for the government controlled/rationed healthcare system i.e. the gravy train here, not me. I just want to see the free market setting healthcare costs, not the government. As such, what you and I fundamentally disagree on is the role of government.
It's about money.
nice.....
Why are you on FR again? Did you miss the part about being pro-life?
BS. Don't try to twist the debate. If you think I'm getting rich off medicaid/medicare, you don't know anything about medicine. (I don't even accept new medicaid patients, but I treat many patients for the local Free Clinic - for free.) And I'd walk away from medical practice in a heartbeat if I were in any way pressured to cooperate in euthanasia (which is highly unlikely, since I'm just a Podiatrist.)
This IS about medical ethics, and whether we as a culture are going to force people into accepting euthanasia, plain and simple.
So again, the question remains, which budget items are more important to you than health care for those who need it? Would you ration care in order to subsidize welfare checks? Planned Parenthood? A new aircraft carrier or nuclear sub?
Okay, I understand you now.
YOU are one of these leftists who loves government confiscation of money and you think that once the money is seized that the government should be allowed to do with it as it pleases.
You seem to forget that, as flawed a system as it is, people paid into systems like Medicare with the promise of healthcare. Statists like YOU think the state should now be able to do what it pleases with the money.
