Well a case could be made that currently the 250k or so of people who die a year because of medical errors aren't exactly getting the gold treatment, but I'm more concerned about the millions who suffer slowly and die because they can't afford to see anyone. I've always said morals are something you can afford, and if you can afford medical treatment it's easy to say "If they can't afford it, give them NOTHING!!", but I find that pretty harsh. Personally if I were sick I would rather take a chance rather than just dying alone, but I get how some people just want the poor of this country to quietly die.
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
