Imagine getting kicked out of the hospital because you were caught smoking in a designated smoking area. That’s one way of freeing up that care for someone more deserving.
You know you hit on something saying it that way. While we all sit here and cry out woe, woe, woe and whoa! One must contemplate why?
If my tax dollars are going to be used for medical care for someone who refuses to change bad habits...is not the government just making that denial in the best interest of the taxpayer? To deliver those funds to someone more deserving?
Why do we have such an aversion to rationing in this manner?
I think it is something in our biblical upbringing about ...not judging a person. With the government healthcare the government must ...judge on behalf of the taxpayer. The government becomes godlike. The problem is with that role given over to the government...history demonstrates the great evil that is forthcoming from such situations.
