(Effectively enslaving them, by your reasoning.) From there to welfare is only a question of degree (or, per Churchill, price), no?

You have my point wrong. I said nothing about on someone else's dime. But I do think that I have a right to be kept in a vegetable state on my own (or my insurers) dime.
