Health Care Is A Right Not a Privilege

contd... You don't have a Right to things that other people have created or expertise they have gain. ie no right to health care or govt forcing it. HOWEVER, as individuals I think you/we have a RESPONSIBILITY to share and give of our blessing to help those in need. IE, you don't have a right to these things, but I as a blessed person have a responsibility to help others ...and this DOES NOT = the fed govt taking control of my $ and deciding where to put it based on their next election run!

Health Care is not a right. If I have a company and I take my best minds out into a field in California and dig up some minerals out of the Earth and create a pill that cures cancers...how is the hell do you stand up, point at me while I am in that field holding my new invention/pill and say " I have cancer so I have a RIGHT to that pill". No you don't! lol Since when does becoming sick create a right for man. You can be hungry but you don't have a RIGHT to food U didn't grow or pay for.

If nationalized health care was so great, why did France, just the other day, completly drop it, due to funding problems, HMM, that is not mentioned in any of the socalist TV stations.

The constitution does not provide a person rights to healthcare;however, it does clearly demand that all persons are treated equally. A person that goes to any emergency room in the U.S is provided care, IT"S THE LAW. The healthcare clinics available are not always the most desirable BUT it is healthcare available to ANYONE. Do you know what happens to a 70yo in England who needs a heart catheterization? It is denied. In the U.S. that person would receive care even if they are penniless.

Welfare: When you care for a stranger so much that you are willing to have government steal from someone else to take care of them.

[Bigben1984]

well you conservatives didn't complain when G. W. Bush gave trillions of dollars to the Banks, Wall Street, Oil Companies, Enron, Halliburton, Northrop Grumman, and Lockhead Martin

[tuttt99]

I am NOT a conservative, and I gave my senators  hell for voting for that bankster bailout.

[tuttt99]

I want to become an illegal alien, so I can get ME some of that free healthcare...

Ok Then Sorry but Miracles and Christian Charity, & Love are only for those whom Have Insurance and A Hefty Bank Account.

Jesus did not have a bank account, or Money, or Own one thing accept for his coat , sandals and clothes on his back He did not ask to be paid, or only give to the rich or those whom could pay and turn others away that could not pay. Feed the Hungry, clothe the naked, care for the sick & afflicted, Judge Not less you be judged, Love one another even as I love you

[tanymas1]

"Love thy neighbor as you love yourself" and " If you do this even unto the least of these then you have done it unto me" To Quote Jesus.

Not Ok Your Sick or Hurt uh? Ok what is your Insurance and do you have a Major Credit Card? You Don't Have Insurance?

[tanymas1]

Universal Health Care is everyone looking out for and taking care of one another...Not just those you can see personally but all over your country.

[tuttt99]

If the only reason you look out for your fellows is that you have a government gun to your head to take your money away to do so, then what good are you?

[tanymas1]

I here Republicans & Television Preachers saying much the same thing.. Except it in no way jives with the teachings of Christ. I cannot imagine Jesus asking someone how will you pay for your medical care and if they don't have a major credit card or insurance Your Fortunes or mine can change at any moment--So can that of your children.

Do you want your child to be denied care turned away because of the size of her bank account

If healthcare is a right, then food is a right, education, a high definition tv, jetski, drivers licenses with a car, a boat, even a saxophone is a right as well. Health care is a commodity, not a right.

The 2nd Amendment is an actual constitutional right but I don't see the government giving out AK-47's to everybody.

Rights do not impose burdens on its citizens.

So therefore your argument of health care is a right falls on its face

[Bigben1984]

you just said that education is a right ???well,,, yes our tax dollars pay for our schools and State funded Universities.
