You almost never say anything prescriptive, about what should be done. Here is your chance. What should happen with the hundreds of thousands of people like my friend, who lost their jobs and insurance in the recession and then became sick. Should they be forcibly removed from the hospitals and left to die, to keep your taxes and insurance premiums as low as possible? Should they be shot in the back of the head, since that solution is even cheaper? Please, impress us with your humanity. |
