I don't think that has anything to do with socialism, we're talking about medical ethics.

Physicians since the 3rd century BC have been working along the lines of the Hippocratic Oath to help the sick and do no harm.

They don't discriminate who they treat, they treat according to need.

What, so doctors should work for free? Because it sounds like you're trying to say that turning someone away for non-payment and the dude dies the next day counts. In the meantime, if doctors are working for free, then how's their family gonna eat?

Where did I say doctors should work for free?

In the UK health care is free at the point of delivery. It's the cheapest and one of the best health care systems in the world. Doctors here are well paid.

Then what you're talking about has nothing to do with anything. Being well-paid does not have any relationship to being forced to treat someone in any measure.
