I was just commenting on the one issue the author of this piece skimmed over. Individuals and Society have to have priorities and for the State to assign need as a higher priority than productive effort is socialism. There is also a practical limit to the amount that society can spend on care for any individual.

What individuals should choose to do in supporting friends and family is one thing, what the State should coerce them to do to support strangers is an entirely different matter.

Perhaps true, but would it be "skimming over" if the author did not consider it relevant? Seems to me it's a different subject to be discussed.

Whether privately or publicly funded, Doctors should not be forced or tempted to bow to expediency.
