It's all a matter of degree. People do make those decisions every day. I'm not going to try to stop them. If the Dr. doesn't want to treat the crazy HIV guy then he doesn't have to. And if he doesn't want to treat me because I abuse alcohol, then that's his perogative. People in these kinds of situations aren't usually asking for help, I know I don't expect anything from anybody, so if you want to deny me something, go ahead. If I can't afford it I'll die anyway.
The only problem I see with this is when people make general assumptions about people without sufficient evidence. Like if a Dr. assumes a black patient with a GSW is a gangbanger, and thus less deserving of treatment than the rich white kid that was just brought in.
We're all guilty of something, if you want to let homosexuals and black people and alcoholics die off, that's fine. Just hope that those who hold a grudge against you don't get into power and decide to cut you off.
