We’ve got to get away from this idea that we are being callous if we don’t spend huge sums of money to prolong life a few months; that is not “putting a dollar value on life,” it is recognizing reality.

It’s the decision makers who are the problem. Try this on for size. You’re a 65 year old out of work living on SS and your coronary artery plugs. Without treatment you’re dead in three months. Should the “state” approve your stent?

You can NEVER give the State power of Life and Death over an individual. It is why it is unconstitutional for the State to practice “medicine”.

All Socialism rots the soul-—and destroys freedom. They need to be out of insurance/medicine/free markets, etc.

This is the Slippery Slope of controlling Life-—and our government is ONLY for the protection of Individual Rights from God-—and the first is Life. This ability to “kill” people is unconstitutional and Marxism.
