Agree...although I believe he primarily views the world from a financial perspective...but no argument here. But I also believe he would argue that the uninsured man still has a choice as to whether or not to seek treatment once his illness becomes apparent.Petty good answer. It's about the best you can do. I think he meant whatever the consequences, which could include financial. I don't buy the intent as only financial, because the libertarian philosophy is well known. People make choices and if they are bad choices they suffer the consequences, period.
Now here's the $64 question....if the man makes a "bad choice" and does not seek treatment...should we force him to do so or should we just "let him die"?
I don't think he meant that.If you want to think he meant that people should be bailed out if their bad choices put their life at risk, I can't stop you from interpreting it that way but it's not my understanding of this political philosophy.
