Re: Which Is More Important? The Right to Discriminate, or Freedom from Discriminati
What? And who would we blame for the dead if no doctors existed at all? Where would your right to life be then? I'm not following this at all.
1: People have a right to life, a doctor not treating them endangers that life. The government has a valid power in ensuring that people get medical attention.
2: Most private doctors do not have the tools necessary to carry out life saving surgury in their clinics. As such they must send the patient to the hospital if such is needed. Those hospitals are generally called "community hospitals" for a reason. They are funded in large part due to contributions and government monies. Which makes them public hospitals and therefore under the same mandate that any other government institution would be regarding discrimination. Not allowed to.
This applies to any privately owned business also. If you take money from the government then you are in essence employed by the government to provide a service, as such you are under the same mandate of non-discimination.
