Michigan Preparing To Let Doctors Refuse To Treat Gays
[excerpt]-"(Lansing, Michigan) Doctors or other health care providers could not be disciplined or sued if they refuse to treat gay patients under legislation passed Wednesday by the Michigan House.
The bill allows health care workers to refuse service to anyone on moral, ethical or religious grounds."

What are we coming to? In the most powerful democracy in the world in the year 2004, not only can you be without adequate healthcare coverage, but now, even if you have it, doctors can refuse to treat you if they don't like you. We can't live like this. :(
