Re: House approves landmark healthcare reform bill

Good to know.



This issue cannot be defined in broad strokes such as that. But here's how I would be OK with an answer of "NO" to that question in regards to health care. If you do not purchase health care, and you have some sort of catastrophic illness, you may NOT, under any circumstances have any government assistance to help you pay for it. NONE. And if you have no ability to pay, no doctor/hospital is required to treat you. NONE. This will prevent costs from folks who refuse to get health care, and then beg for it when they get ill. Would you agree to this?

I can agree with this in principle, but from a medical ethics standpoint it's unjustifiable. If someone enters the ER with a critical injury, they can't be left to die. It violates the physician's oath.
