Since health care is so expensive, perhaps there's an alternative to undergoing expensive medical treatment:
Legal assisted suicide, no questions asked. Legalize it, and once someone's diagnosed with cancer or diabetes, if they can't afford treatment, they have the option if going to an assisted suicide center and pay a small fee to be painlessly and quickly put down.
That family won't have to go into debt (assuming that the patient chooses this option), and they can avoid further suffering. It'll also save taxpayer money.
Don't worry, taxpayer money wouldn't fund the assisted suicides, it'd simply be legal.
Sure. Then all you need is to jack up the cost of treatment to make suicide the more attractive (and lower cost for the insurance companies!) option. That sounds like a great society to live in.
Aren't the Republicans trying to make assisted suicide illegal? Anti abortion, anti healthcare, anti assisted suicide. They just want the 99% to live in miserable servitude to our corporate masters.
No way. Companies are just going to make it so cheap and raise actual healthcare costs (insurance companies would pounce on this) and people will feel they have no option but to kill themselves.

Agree or disagree?
I doubt theres many people who when diagnosed with a health problem are going to immediately consider suicide as a consequence.
Also, maybe the government can find a way to turn the corpses of these people into a food source!
