Then why is it ethically acceptable for a biased government power to monopolize a resource for those in favor? That WILL happen if government controls healthcare. It is inevitable. Do you for a moment think that a bureaucrat is going to allow his mother to die just because she meets criteria that deny other people care?I'm honestly not sure. ethically just as far as health care is concerned i would say no. allowing someone to monopolize a resource at a sub-optimum level is not ethically acceptableThat doesn't address the question. Should such a scenario be illegal?do you think that is the most equitable use of health care resources?Should a wealthy man be prevented from having a private contract with a doctor to exclusively treat his family, to be on call 24/7/365, to do house calls once a month?that is the question.Would that be worse than a group of unaccountable bureaucrats deciding who gets treated and who does not based on their own biases?
but if you're the poor joe who can't compete with the rich guy for medical care you'll probably take your chances with the biases of a committee.
