As someone who has endured religious bigotry for much of my life, Catholic “health care” infuriates me. I really wish we’d take all that public money and invest it in facilities that don’t push their dogma on other people in their most vulnerable times.
I have a complex enough medical history that I have it printed on a wallet card. (Two reasons: in case I’m incapacitated, and in case I have trouble remembering all the details.) One of my big fears is that someday I’ll be unconscious and paramedics will fail to see or respect the bold-print “Do not take me to a Catholic hospital” instruction, and the Catholic hospital will treat me extra-poorly when they see it.
