ninevirtues | Watchin' the gears grind: Best way I've yet seen this put

Voodoo medicine man has the right questions, phrased in trademark blunt language:

Here are the good questions he's asking, if you don't want to jump to the link, and now that I've read his article I'm asking them too:

1) Are all aspects of health care a right or a privilege?

2) Just because someone goes to the gynecologist and asks him to help her have octuplets, doesn't mean he ought to do it. That lady can't take care of the kids she has now (some of whom have serious disabilities and who will be on lifetime social security). What is the doctor's responsibility here? (Just because you can implant someone with eight embryos, doesn't mean you should. Where ought the doctor to draw the line?)

3) How much of the bill (reportedly 1.7 million dollars for the first year) for the octuplets should taxpayers pay?
