Lots of rules are made for a reason and should be adhered to. Working in the
hospital, I see a lot of cases of preventable trauma - and I'm not referring to
obesity and diabetes - but mashed/thrown out of the vehicle category. And
while human tragedy of having someone be on ventilator for the rest of his/her
life may be high, there is a real cost of taking care of trauma that affects
all of us. Various studies in literature show that behavior leading to
anywhere between 30-70% of accrued medical care cost is preventable. So
anytime you look at your ever increasing health insurance bill, part of it is
due to those wanting to express their 'freedom.' Fine, I don't have a problem
with that, as long as the society and medical providers and society have the
right to pull the plug on someone - which is currently not part of the game.
