"You know what I love about living in the US? Freedom! You can choose between multiple overpriced insurance companies to provide you with healthcare, for example. The healthcare companies, in turn, can seemingly charge you whatever they like for their services. If they want to charge you $1,500 (£1,200) for some toenail fungus cream, that is their prerogative. That’s freedom, baby.
As if this wasn’t glorious enough, the healthcare system in Florida has just had a new layer of freedom added to it. On 1 July, a new law goes into effect that means a doctor can look a potential patient up and down, decide they are giving off homosexual vibes and refuse to treat them because interacting with gay people goes against their personal beliefs. The doctor will not face any repercussions for denying care and has no obligation to refer the patient elsewhere"

That's states rights...the right to choose.
--- So you think that a doctor has the right to not treat a patient because they're homosexual? Or if they think they are homosexual? There's not one religion that says you can't interact with homosexuals, that you can't treat them as a doctor, etc, etc. Bigots need to stop hiding behind their religion.

Do no harm, if some harm is clinically necessary, do the least amount; and consistently act in the person's best interest.
