The answer is essence is YES.

If my child needs a new heart, and I make 100K a year, and you tell me that it will run 500K and insurance won't cover it -- I still want the heart for my child.

I don't want to be told that I can't afford it, and my child will die. I don't want a doctor doing the surgery that graduated in the bottom 10th of his class. I want my child to be treated by the best there is, because I want them to survive.

Just because I was laid off, didn't get the promotion, wasn't born into money, or can't get insurance because of a pre-existing condition doesn't mean that I don't WANT the best available care for my child.

So yes, I have problem if my child is passed over for a heart because someone else has a little more money.

My child is worth more than Money.
