I'm the one that does not believe in a "social responsibility" for the health of others. It is you, and other advocates of single payer systems, that make cost-based determinations on others health issues. When it is an individual issue, then it is an individual decision.


"It is a person's fault that two people mated and they should be punished for it in some concrete way?"

This dumb question of yours could not describe the problems with forced govt. welfare any better. Well done?
