> How else is it supposed to work?

Like literally any other good or service.

I think it's best that we keep any profit motive out of this. It certainly doesn't work for health care.

This is not health care. Not in any sense that Hippocrates would cosign.

That really depends on how you define "harm", doesn't it?

		There's more in the oath than "do no harm". But if you want to just forget about the ancients, I can't stop you. Par for the course in a culture that wants to pull the plug on grandma.

We consider it health care for our pets.

Hippocrates didn't actually write the Hippocratic Oath, which, if this matters to you, also forbids abortion.

		You are technically correct, sir. I guess that out of shame I should just go seek Canadian healthcare. On abortion -- that matters to a lot of people, and it's an outrage that they are forcibly taxed to pay for something they see as murder.

So... like sewage service, or the fire department?
