I think you'd have to take a lot of snuff for it to be lethal.

Smoking's faster. And even that's not a sure thing...

Certainly if you DO want treatment you should get it,

Yeh, but only if you've got the money.

Liar.

Neither of these positions are backed up with evidence..not at all uncommon for Seth of course.

I have a cousin in the US who's husband has a serious illness. He had health cover which ran out as he could no longer work.
The family (brothers and sisters) have all been contributing to his medical expenses since.
In that situation, I would consider suicide myself.
I'm sure it's far from unique. The pressure not to be a drain on the family can be enormous.
Pressure from within, more so than from the family.
Obama is doing what he can to widen it, but in the end, the US will probably end up with an NHS. It's just a matter of time.
The reporting of the suffering that the private system causes is bringing it home to the voters, and it will tell in the end.
