This guy had not been sentenced to death. To deny him care that would prevent his death would be imposing such a sentence.

Wrong. You get the health care you can afford. Just like you get the kind of car you can afford, the type of home, etc.

If the con can afford the transplant, I might consider it.

The argument that "This guy had not been sentenced to death. To deny him care that would prevent his death would be imposing such a sentence" would apply anybody. Do we offer unlimited health-care to every citizen, or even every indigent citizen? Not yet, at least not before President Hillary Clinton institutes it.

Everyone lives with their decisions. This con could have done what I presume you and what I know others do---get a job, buy insurance, abide by the law, save your money, and when you're old, what you have done---even your lifestyle decisions---will determine the care you can afford to purchase.

I agree, unless this operation is covered under Medicaid. If it is, then you get this kind of health care without having to afford it.
