“proper moral standards” means taking care of those who are less well off. At least that is what Judaism says. The moral standards of Sedom would leave them to die for lack of health care, which is what is happening now.
Ben Levi,
Your statement of “government takes over” is false and misleading. And you know better. The Senate bill provides for a massive expansion of private health insurance. You know that.
Regarding “proper health care” for someone who is ninety that is a nontrivial question. We don’t usually recommend aggressive cancer treatment, for example, for someone that old, because the improvement in life expectancy is miniscule even if the treatment is successful.
And as I said before, I don’t want people to go into medicine because it makes a “comfortable living” certain. I want students who are dedicated to serving HaShem and their fellow humans. And I am very proud of my students, almost all of whom fit that description. They will make great doctors!
