Nice!...flip health care around...that would mean the government can't infringe on your right to seek health care. That is, the GOVERNMENT shall not INFRINGE on your right to get care, not provide the care.

I would be fine with, "the rights of the citizenry to seek health care shall not be infringed".

Government does not provide rights. Such as life...The government doesn't provide life. Rights are unalienable. They are inherit with the people and do not spring forth from a government office. Rights come "stock" with the person just like blood flesh and bone. At lest thats the way I see it. Rights arn't rights if they can be taken from you. If they can then they are privileges and not rights at all.

@whippoorwillss (cont)....even if you are born somehow with rights, who bestows them upon you, and then protects them against anything? He hasn't been doing a good job....

[whippoorwillss]

@cjjc0 who bestows them upon you? thats an age old question, I'd think they came from the same place we get bones, hearts and dreams. As for protecting them goes that job fall to ourselfs, the same as with getting food, closes or happyness.

Government is a monopoly. And public healthcare doesn't work. I know first hand!! Creates shortages, price rises and general chaos. Free market is best WITHOUT government intrusion as in the USA. Everyone would be better off. Welfare is morally wrong. Creates more problems than it seeks to solves. Good intentions are not enough. Peace

@whippoorwillss But, you get your bones, heart, and dreams mostly from your parents and secondarily from the culture that surrounds you. If that's true, doesn't that mean the culture as a whole can decide to create new rights?

And if the job of protecting our rights is our own, why do we subscribe to police, or even a government? In America, we allow society to protect our rights in exchange for not infringing upon anyone else's rights.

[cjjc0]

@whippoorwillss "Rights" are a man-made concept, a societal agreement of what we decide to let each other do. You have American rights because you live in the United States, and have agreed to not disturb anyone else's rights, and the government has not deemed your access to rights dangerous.

Fleshborn rights? : African Americans before 1964, Japanese Americans in WW2, Homosexuals in the present day, Women (don't know the year), Immigrant Americans in early Americas,

Great analogy about what a riht is.

[IndividualAutonomy]

Health care is not a right. For one there is no such thing as a right. Also, you cannot wish more doctors, medical research, and advanced machines into existentence by declaring it a right. People in medieval France could declare healthcare a right when they got extremely sick but they would not get the tech.

[oiuoiu988]

thats a good point.

@whippoorwillss:

Seriously, what is a right? Can you somehow demonstrate its existence?
