  • you fucking asshole - healthcare is not a right. you are a fucking slave master you cunt. you think it is acceptable to enslave others to provide services that you or others want. fucking pure evil, just like what the constitution of the USSR was about - that promised a right to healthcare. humans are not means by which you achieve your socialist goals. - they are ENDS IN THEMSELVES! how dare you say that I should have the fruits of MY labour stripped from me for ANY PURPOSE! fucking shithead!

  • Now we will have the RIGHT of WALMART DMV health .... with eugenics ...you know..euthanasia offered for when you have six months to live. Rahm Emanual's brother, Ezekiel wrote a book on it and doesn't think patients deserve the hyprocratic oath. HITLER health care....that was how it started..just like this. Kill the sick ones first as the rope shortens for freedom.

  • This woman scares me. Health care is not a right. It scares me that people value health above all else. It would seem that everyone wants to live forever and be lazy while doing it and expect someone else to pick up the tab for their health. I hate socialism.

  • "Right v. Non-right" is not the issue. The issue is that the system doesnt work. I own an engineering company and make 6 figures - yet my health care costs are my major personal expense. Its incredible - and my family and I are healthy!

    We are being raped by the hosptials, drug makers and doctors. The proplem is greed and undue profits.

    If I cant afford it - how in the hell can a single mom working at K-Mart afford it?

  • you have the right to have healthcare. you also have the right to pay for some one elses health care(if you want) but that is not a requirement. let's keep it that way, shall we? and if you think socialism is so great, then move to hungary for a few years. see how you enjoy %25 income and %50 sales taxes. then find me one instance where socialism has outpaced capitatlism. the depression corrected itself(in spite of FDR's best efforts) and the USSR went bankrupt. or did that go over YOUR head?

  • WAIT EVERYBODY! WAIT!

    Yep, healthcare is a right.

    But you don't have the RIGHT to get it for goddamn free. Take your outstretched hand, and instead of waiting for MY ass to put some free shit in it, GET TO FUCKIN WORK! The whole fuckin WORLD is trying to either GET to the US or emulate it, and here we are running headlong fuckin backwards. Any lib: tell us all...

    When has Socialism (or facism) succeeded?

    We're waiting.

  • Health care is a service provided by other individuals. If health care is proclaimed as a right, then the providers of health care will be FORCED to provide with medical treatment whether they want it or not. How cant it be a right?

  • Call Republican contributor Rite Aid Pharmacies at 800 325 3737 and tell the person that you want the Rite Aid CEO to get the congress and the President to enact HR 676 single payer universal health care and repeal Medicare Part D and place the drug benefit in Medicare Part B covering 80% of the cost of drugs with no extra premiums, no extra deductibles, no means tests, no coverage gaps, and remove the means test for Medicare Part B and until that happens, you won't buy ANYTHING from Rite Aid.

  • Just goes to show you how ignorant people are, given the responses above. It is a right - health care shouldn't be tied to your job. And why are Americans (I speak as one) so afraid of socialism? You all sound like Joseph McCarthy (or did that reference go over your heads?).

  • anyone here has access to health care now.

    socialism sucks. why do you think people flock to america? wake up! better still,

    move. go where health care is a right, and

    see how much you like it there.
