Father Pavone’s position is very similar to mine in principle. As treatments become accessible and affordable and effective use them. However, if a treatment is going to cause somebody else to go into economic bondage or deny somebody medical treatment that could lead to their death, I cannot, in good conscience, make use of it.
As with ALL technological advances medical treatments become less expensive as they are used; it is necessary to utilize these techniques as they are developed in order to make them better and more affordable. The cost of this is nearly always absorbed by hospitals and pharmaceutical companies.
And before you bring up the the Medicare crisis you need to realize that the problems ARE NOT because those on Medicare didn't pay in enough money, the problem is that less than a decade after Medicare was implemented a decision was made to murder 53 MILLION future taxpayers. ALL of America's economic problems exist because of our abandonment of pro-life principles, Social Security and Medicare would be fully solvent were it not for abortion.
