Tony, like alot of people, your heart is in the right place, but you shut off the common sense. There is this weird thing going around that everyone "deserves" the best care possible. An altruistic statement to be sure, but illogical to the point of laughter. Why do you think Majic Johnson is still alive and well? I have read but cannot recall the price tag on his life extending cocktail, WOW. Should we all pony up for all the HIV infected in this country? How about the care Christopher Reeves has received? It would literally break the bank. People die, and people who've accumulated more wealth have better access to things of this nature. Thats's life, deal with it. Medicare (you & me) paid over 6 figures to keep my grandfather alive for a couple years extra. I loved the man, but it was asinine. No one deserves anything but freedom and liberty, the rest is what you make of it.
