Does it not strike you as odd to say “we as a society want X, except for [approximately half of the people in our society who want the opposite of X]”?
Not really. People who don’t want healthcare are saying they don’t really care if diseases and misery spread to all and show an incredible, painful ignorance of science. Fuck 'em.
Yeah, you can’t apeal to “society has decided X” as an argument, if you also hold that half the people in society don’t count because you disagree with them. That’s actually the opposite of what ‘society’ means in that context.

OK, I guess I should say “civilization” instead.
