I believe there are certain elective procedures that should not be done for children or young adults until they have full brain development (around age 25) to make those decisions for themselves. And I think morals dictate that there are things I think should not be done at all.
That said, there is a question for me about how involved I want government involved in making health care decisions. Personally, I think it is fine for .gov to say, "we won't pay for these procedures" (i.e. Medicaid, Medicare, a national health plan if we had one), but do I want them to dictate what happens between by doctor and me in his office? No. (And, yet, we still pat ourselves on the back for living in a "free" country?)
What if .gov said we don't believe people should put metal in their bodies. That is not how God designed us so we aren't going to do hip and knee replacements anymore. Would we be happy with that? Me, not so much.
Moral issues aside, I would like the party of less government to give us less government, or we simply aren't as free as we fantasize ourselves to be.
