Most of us don't want to live in a society where making bad choices in life (or having bad luck) excludes you from live-saving care.

- Evbn 14y agoAnd since HN tends to lean anti-social: for the objectivists: most of us would don't want to get denied care because we look like a junkie during an emergency.
- randallsquared 14y agoI think you meant anti-socialist. While HN might or might not lean anti-social, I'm not sure it would have a clear effect on political arguments.
- tomjen3 14y agoI wouldn't want to exclude them, I just don't want to spend (even more) money supporting their bad habits. It is a two-way street: they want more money? They have to take that in the form of drug treatment. The libertarian in me don't want to waste money on them at all but I am not blind to the fact that their life wouldn't have been as miserable as it is if we didn't have a stupid war on drugs.
