nfgo3 -“health: you make a number of unsound conclusions but you make one good point.”
Name the so -called “unsound” conclusions.
“End-of-life care under Torah is complicated by a number of considerations. But if government care covers all other situations, then it would be relatively easy for a small group, like frum Jews, to provide reciprocal-style insurance coverage for Jews who want to make their end-of-life health-care decisions in accordance with Torah, without worrying about the financial ruin of their families.”
I wasn’t talking about complicated cases. I was talking about cases where it’s pretty clear cut that you can survive and no exorbitant amount of pain. The Torah would require in cases like these to save yourself. And your delusion that the Jews can just pay for something, eg. refusal to treat old people, is nonsense.
Once the Gov. universal healthcare won’t pay for it -it won’t exist anymore. If there is a certan drug and only this drug for a certain disease and the Gov. decides it’s too expensive and they won’t pay for it. Guess what? The company won’t make it anymore.
