“Not seeing patients that are still smoking”. That actually makes sense to me. If you’re not trying to help yourself. It’s like the old joke...”Doc...It hurts when I do this. Don’t do that”.

Like I told one doctor: "Spare me the tobacco lecture and sew up my leg, willya?"

Really.

Yep, any illness or injury related to lifestyle should be denied treatment. Overweight, high blood pressure, heart disease, STDs, sports injury, diabetics with anything other than perfect BMI, mental illness due to being an A-hole...

That actually makes sense to me.

You favor the gummint telling free people that they can not do things that are legal or they won't be treated in a hospital?

What if you had a few drinks and wrecked your car. Can they choose not to treat you?

You might want to rethink your post, not rethink, just think.

So, you don't worry when your vice becomes politically-incorrect? Because whatever it is, it will. That's the whole point of this stuff - it's to get rid of the undesirables. I mean, unless you're a Washington elite or have so much money you can leave the country when this stuff coms to a theater near you.

Is smoking legal there?
Do they still treat drug overdoses?
How about trampoline accidents?

I’m sick. Call me an ambulance.

Okay, you’re an ambulance.

Me too!!! In fact, I think people who have EVER smoked should be denied all treatment. Also, anyone who has ever taken any drug. DON'T TREAT 'EM! Also anyone who is overweight, according to the BMI chart. IF YOU WANT TREATMENT FOR THE MAJOR TRAUMA YOU GOT IN THE CAR WRECK, LOSE SOME WEIGHT, FATSO!! Also, anyone who has a high blood sugar. They aren't taking care of themselves!! Anyone who has been in the sun, anyone who does anything risky, and everyone who drives a car!!! Alcohol drinkers! DENIED!!! No treatment for these risk-mongers and daredevils WHO WANT TREATMENT ON OUR DIME!!!!

Some were born to be free citizens. Others were born to be property of the state.
