Heavy penalties for undesirable patients

Witnessing a unsolved problem, undesirable patients coming to hospital to
stay for a free ride at the expense of more needy cases will be fined
between $5000 and $30000 each per day or night in a strong bid to stabilise
the number of patients being admitted to hospitals.
I do not see hospitals as having a holiday just for fun, I see it as a
valuable educational thing and one society needs most, teaching patients
right from wrong and teaching others right from wrong.

Society needs to be taught that hospitals are only for the very ill, people
who lives depend on it or have their lives in balance and elderly people,
and people of working age who are not deemed to be ill enough to be admitted
to hospital need to be taught that hospitals are not the right place for
them.

The planned crackdown being drafted here is being made after concerns that
some people have been using the hospitals for a free ride, and it is long
argued that their actions are costing other people's lives from my viewpoint
anyway. Beds that are really for the more needy cases are continuing to be
taken up by undesirable patients, and it is really very dangerous because
some lives are being lost that should easy have been avoided if it wasn't
been for the actions of the few.

People are criticising me for attacking some patients who actions are deemed
to be undesirable. Well let me make it very clear. No new hospitals or
redeveloped hospitals or extra beds are going to solve this problem because
it would only make the undesirable patients think that it is okay to take
the health system for a ride, and in my view it has to stop.

The $5000 to $30000 per patient per night who dares to take the health
system for a ride will go toward the hospitals who wish to redevelop the
hospital, purchase new beds & equipment or upgrade the equipment or hospital
or build a new hospital on a Greenfield site.

I don't believe it is unreasonable to expect undesirable patients who take
the health system for a ride to contribute to the costs toward the hospitals
and I feel it is a mutual obligation scheme the whole community would
support to impose on people who expect to use the system for a ride for free
without a good explanation or reason.

Hope you have a very good lawyer for the discrimination suits that
will follow.
Who will decide which patients are undesirable? I happen to think
smokers bring about their own problems. Does that mean smokers should
be fined for taking up a bed that could be used for someone more
deserving?
