Would it be ethical for surgeons friendly to ACA [View all]

To comment in general terms on the costs of the surgeries, recovery, and all follow up treatments for patients like Senator McCain and that Republican congressman that was shot? At the beginning of such a conversation, it should be emphasized that anyone can catch cancer and in this country , anyone can be shot through no fault of their own.
I think it would be helpful for people to understand the staggering expense of medical care.
