>Everyone has the right to life. I cannot imagine how callous one must be to willingly deprive fellow human beings of that right, purely because it is not how the economic system works. If we have the resources to provide healthcare to everyone, then we should. No matter what the cost. I disagree on so many levels. First its most of the time the right to comfort (not hurting, being sick 3 days and not a whole week, etc) or the right to live carelessly (thinking about tobacco, obesity and their consequences here), not the right to life. Many people accross the globe don't even have access to our level of care yet they still live. Not everyone is sick either. I also don't think we should provide to everyone. I don't think that having sick people being able to lead a normal life only thanks to modern medicine, and thus having the possibility of spreading their bad genes, making their descendance dependant on modern medicine, is a very sound choice to make as a species. As for the public pot, considering that europe's population's getting older, staying longer alive, not being especially healthy (obesity rises too), I don't think that the point where it's not sustainable enough for our societies is very far.
