Healthcare is not a rightsteemCreated with Sketch.

I have no opinion either way of this healthcare bill because I don't care, it's typical politics as usual, get used to it. But I do care when people keep saying "healthcare is a right!!!". Sorry, not sorry, but it's not. You have no right yourself to demand someone else provide a service to you. If HC was a right, you could make the same argument saying that cheeseburgers are a right. Cars are a right. A home is a right. HC and the aforementioned items are services/products. Not rights. Please familiarize yourself with the difference between rights and services. Again, no one is obligated to provide any service to you if they don't want to, regardless of your feelings. If you really want to see good options for healthcare, the worst thing you could do is beg gov't to take it over. Why not allow the free market, which breeds competition for your dollars, a chance at winning your business?

You are correct, people do not have the right to other people's goods and services. It would be the same as me saying that I need a house, and I have the right to your carpentry skills in order to build it.

Spot on friend! Just wish more people realized this.
