The morality/immorality is kind of irrelevant. It will be cheaper in the long run if everyone has insurance, and then these choices will be much fewer and further between. The huge downside is that there is no doubt that the transition to universal healthcare comes with some seriously rocky turf. I have no idea whether the law will turn out to be good or bad in the long run, as there are some good things in there and some mind-numbingly stupid things, but I think that it will take at least 5 years beyond the mandatory insurance date (beginning 2014, if I'm not mistaken) to make a determination. We need to find a water level then reevaluate without being ideological, which is very hard for both sides on this issue.
