Much is made of the point that millions of people may die without health care. This preposterous point is being seriously bandied about as though doctors and hospitals are not obligated to care for patients regardless of whether they are insured.
No one is turned away. I’d like to see the names of the doctors who allowed these patients to die.
And so the rationale is that we are morally obligated to provide money to prevent this calamity. Let’s talk about this. The Founding Fathers did, and felt it was a commandment of God to care for the needy. But they also found that the role of the federal government was to provide equal rights, not equal things.
