Their the ones making the laws man. Stop trying so hard to defend them and concern yourself with all the people struggling under his umbrella. If they made murder legal would you start killing people too? Draw a better line.

I'm not defending them. I'm just acknowledging how horrible our current system is and how unlikely it is to change. I have my own moral code and would not be comfortable taking $ as I deny terminally ill cancer patient medication that my company could easily pay for.

By the way, if the government made murder legal, I would not be a killer, but there are plenty of people that would. If we really wanted to solve the health care problem, we'd make for-profit health illegal. Since it's highly profitable to companies and those same companies spend a lot of money lobbying to keep this legal, you ain't gonna see this get fixed any time soon. I want to understand the system as well as I can so I may operate within it. That doesn't mean I agree or sanction what is happening. It's fucking horrible and as a supposed first-world country we should all be outraged. Two weeks from now that shooter will be out of the headlines and nothing will have changed.
