If they qualify for Medicare or Medicaid in the usual fashion, so be it. I don't think subsidizing addicts is any more valid than taking my money to pay to fix someone else's car.

So, to clarify, the indigent should receive this kind of care in the same way that indigents receive other forms of medical care. No more and no less. Others should pay for care as they do for any other medical condition. Again, no more and no less.

But don't worry your happy little Euro-hearts too much. The USA is heading towards single payer inexorably anyway. Though I predict we will STILL find a way to pay more for care than you lot.
