People with cancer or leukemia should receive free medical treatment.?
My friend was diagnosed with a brain tumor a year ago and her medical bill (because of radiation and surgeries etc) is already up in the two hundred thousands. It's totally ridiculous. I think it is bogus that people like my friend have to pay for medical treatment when, without it, they will die. Who else thinks that terminally ill people should receive free medical treatment?

I'm sorry to hear about your friend, I truly am. Despite your personal feelings, a majority of Americans would not support giving free medical treatment to anyone regardless of their situation. Why favor an individual over someone else? It would be unfair and unjust. Where would the funds come from to provide such free treatment in the first place? Taxes, most likely.

I believe 100 percent no one in the states should have to pay for this terrible illness, it is hard enough as it is with the huge fight he or she has to fight.... Free should start yesterday i feel it isnt right!!!!!

This is a complex and difficult question. Many of the sickest people have caused their own illnesses. Think of people made homeless by addictions, living on the streets, with 5 different chronic illnesses. I am not without compassion, but do you treat these folks? Before you say yes, realize that even after spending hundreds of thousands of dollars treating them, they will choose to go right back to the conditions which exacerbated their illnesses. I'm not saying this is the norm of people who cannot afford care ... I am saying that caring for these people alone could cost HUGE sums of money and resources, enough to compromise the care needed for "innocent" victims. If you don't provide care, what kind of society are you then? I'm not voting one way or the other here, just pointing out some issues we will face as we confront universal health care. People in other countries may not be aware of the numbers of homeless, indigent, ill people living on the streets here.
