9. OK. I have a "conscience-based objection" to life-saving care for Conservatives.

That's not all medical care. Just any life-saving care.

I'll take their temp, their blood pressure, draw blood, perform x-rays, run tests, MRIs, assorted other scans, etc.

I'll happily tell them what they're suffering from, afflicted with, or dying from.

I just won't perform CPR, operate on them, prescribe medicines, give shots, perform life-saving treatments etc. - not even the Heimlich maneuver.

If they want play, then let's play.

Fuck'em and all who think like them.

You playing with someone's health care, you're playing with their life.

Show them what that means by making it costly for them.

They're hoping to modify behavior they don't agree with by penalizing the person through denial of health services - do the same to them.
