3. No, denial of healthcare isn't fine...

I also don't appreciate you trying to reword what I said into some kind of snarky 'conclusion' that isn't even remotely accurate. I know that's common on the internet, but so is idiocy, logical fallacies, and outright manipulation - all tactics that we can avoid in conversation.

TBH though, I thought your intent was 'because of the alleged leaking', which is what made me so nervous (thinking you were calling for doctors to not treat someone because of politics, especially when no proof has been presented). For that, I apologize, as I now see the direction of your intent.

But it's vile trying to use doctor's to force your desired politics. Yes, I agree it's a fundamental right (I don't see anyone ELSE posting 'Don't go alone'), but I don't agree that trying to determine who is 'worthy' of care is a good idea (because it gets you used to the idea that some aren't worthy, which is the actual goal. Christ, don't you see how the messaging WORKS on that?!).

Anywho, I reiterate my apology for going quite so hard in my initial post. Have a good night, Ed (I must be off; if you want to continue discussion, I'll be happy to tomorrow).
