Obviously this is not a hypothetical question, considering the cost of much medical treatment. Depending on your view, then the question arises of what types of medical procedures apply. Should everyone have equal access to Viagra? 040 Cosmetic surgery? :2cool: High-risk replacement surgery?
I have strong opinions on both/all sides of the debate, but really, I don't know. ??? ??? ???
