Not saying that's the spirit of your post, but it is something to reflect upon for each of us.

That's why these decisions need to be made and rules solidified by unbiased and unemotional people. You could be right, but I don't want that option because I know I could exercise it, but others couldn't.
Reflection has taken place on this subject. I took my mom to the ER in April and she died in the hospital without ever leaving it again. We were in th ER for about nine hours and she was unbelievably sick. There were no seats for hours and she sat on my lap. It was insane. I couldn't help but think of all the times she had voted conservative as she was lamenting the sad state of healthcare. I don't want to go through that again for anyone I love or myself,
but I also don't want anybody else to go through that. I want to pay more taxes for the betterment of Albertans. I don't want to buy my way out of personal problems so somebody with less money has to go through what I did with my mom. I want better healthcare, but I want it for everyone. That should really be the default position and I don't understand how anyone could think different.
