Trump's "open up country by Easter" promise will make a lot of people impatient soon. Trump better have ventilators, ppe and testing on hand by that time.
Let a black or brown man try what he's been getting away with for years and see what happens. On another note "In a state with pockets of deep wariness about both big government and mainstream medicine.." Crazy...Trump has a corporate welfare system in place and this is what you choose to complain about?
They have relinquished their claim? Sorry you don't get to make that call. You have a duty to provide care or you'll get fired, sued, or worse.
If there are enough ventilators for everybody, sure. At the point that you have to choose between Bundy and someone who didn't intentionally infect themselves, intentionally pursuing risky behavior seems like a valid criteria. Honestly, Bundy should be in a federal prison "taking his chances like everybody else" as the right likes to say. I imagine if federal prisoners didnt have enough ventilators to go around, the Right wouldnt be making too big a fuss if there werent enough ventelators to go around for all the inmates.
