Anybody that wants a ventilator or other seriously expensive technology to stay viable beyond the obvious expiration date that God has stamped on them should be able to have one at their own expense. Tax payers should not have to pay for it.

The people in Ireland already pay for their healthcare through TAXES.

This is especially true, IMHO, if the root cause of your underlying disease process can be attributed to poor lifestyle choices on your part. Tax payers should not be subsidizing irresponsible lifestyle choices.

You should call Zero and suggest this, "lifestyle police" seems to be a natural fit for death panels.

Furthermore, if Doctors warn you hat if you gte pregnant you will give birth to a child with massive medical complications that will result in large financial obligations and you choose to become pregnant and go forward with the birth, that’s on you, not me.

Wow, it's not often that someone who claims to be a conservative embraces every fact of the culture of death.

Were you aware that Free Republic is a PRO-LIFE forum and not some libertarian cesspool?

This is why the worst thing about socialized medicine is the fact that things that shouldn’t be anybody else’s business will now become everybody’s business. If you think the level of civility in this country is bad now, just wait until we get socialized medicine.
