That said... one deserves to decide for themselves, not be stripped of that freedom because the gov't said so. Darwin would help thin the herd a little, if folks could choose.
might have been because insurance companies were splitting up the cost of long term care for morons with head injuries?
No one has the freedom to make me pay for a lifetime of medical care.
But how can it be fixed?
Small "r" GOP Governor of MA Charlie Baker keeps saying (I will paraphrase) "do I really have to be your parent? Do you idiots not understand that you CAN effectively slow down the transmission of a contagious virus that kills a chunk of our population who do not deserve it? You know what to do but many won't. Hey you kids, don't make me come up there!"
Yes. I agree one should be able to decide to be like uh idiot. You think any of them would sign something explaining that if they get a head injury that requires very expensive care, their insurance company would not have to pay anything and they can stay home and die alone?
I'd be for that cuz my rates would go down. And they could say it was their free decision.
Win/Win!
