The judge's rationale seems sound. So, that means we need to be more innovative in our arguments.
A pharmacist or doctor cannot be forced to fill a prescription if it is against their professional opinion, according to the judge. Ok. So, why didn't the attorneys then say, "But, your honor, you are with that rationale limiting a person's breadth of tratment possibilities to the current knowledge of a person who may not be as well-educated as the patient--we cannot assume that professionals are always aware of cutting edge treatment. In fact, professionals caught up in daily routines and the grind of medical care are often unaware of scientifically substaniated possibilities that the patient is aware of due to the patient's critical state of being. If you, judge, believed you were at death's doorstep and you had fervently searched for alternatives and identified one, wouldn't you want the right to have access to that treatment in such a way that the current medical model could not shut you down? If Obamacare exists because we have a right to healthcare, then don't we have a right to the care of our health?"
