Sorry, I assumed from your other responses that you were not okay with enforced treatment. Given how focused you were on the government not infringing rights, and how you were explicitly against enforcing isolation, I guess I assumed that carried over to not allowing the government to enforce medical treatment (even if it was free).

I’m still unclear what you think should be done in this concrete case. I see a few options here:

- Don’t enforce anything, allow the person to spread TB unrestricted.

- Enforce isolation until death or recovery.

- Enforce treatment until death or recovery (note though that if you were not to enforce isolation during treatment you’re allowing TB to spread during this time!)

- Something else?

Forgetting for a moment about payment, It sounds like you would be in favor of the third option?

We can also discuss who should pay for the latter two (and I know the answer to that is not an isolated question - they go together). I would agree it should be the government - though I’m also for government-provided, taxpayer funded healthcare generally, which I suspect you are not - and would possibly consider its imposition as unconstitutional?
