The problem is this. Do we have a right to food? Food is more important to life than health care. If we don't have a right to food then we don't have a right to health care.

Oh..... I get it! Women are stupid and shouldn't vote.

Ok... so what you're saying is that if person A exists, they have the right to healthcare. Then it's person B's responsibility to pay for person A's right.
So what does person B get in return? And what is person A's responsibility?

@icecoldbath You show me in the Constitution where it says that healthcare is a right. No offense, but it doesn't matter what you think, it matters what the Constitution says.

where in the U.S. Constitution does it say you "have a right to healthcare" IT DOESN'T...do you know why? Because they understood the ramifiations of government running such a system. Your arguments seem to be solely based on an emotional level without any facts, reasoning or logic. So, just by your existance, I am in your debt? Rights are only granted by your own responsibilities (outside of the constitution). Your right does not constitute my responsibility, unless I have the right to own u

here is the bottom line and hear me out. PLEASE do not label me anything. Right wing/left wing/ conservo liberal anything.
NOONE is ENTITLED to the fruits of someone elses labor. If someone ASKS me to help them, i have the choice to help or not. If a person that smokes, is overweight, drinks heavily ASKS me for healthcare, i say no. If im given NO CHOICE to take care of him, thats STEALING. I dont understand why thats so hard to comprehend.

Basically the argument against any government activity is that the more any government does for it's people the more it takes from them. Our country was founded by and for people that were responsible individualists, that wanted as much freedom as possible. Government is a necessary evil we need to keep as small as possible.

PREACH!

@CaptainCocaine (continued) The government shouldn't decide how we help others. They have done a tremendously crappy job of it since FDR's administration. All federal funding of social programs does is take money from charitable social organizations that could use the money MUCH more efficiently, being that many of their workers are volunteers instead of government employees that are entitled to benefits and retirement. Endless reams of paperwork caused by the bureaucracy of government control
Ashley,
I don't necessarily disagree with your argument but it does have a weakness: altruism. Your arguments are basically altruisitic and there are many people who hold altruism to be essentially unethical. Your argument will have no effect on those people.
To address those people, if you are at all interested, you have to find an argument which appeals to their ethic of self-interest.

My argument doesn't require altruism at all, it merely is an analysis of the nature of the right to life.

My last post is: NO other country is providing HC for NON-CITIZENS like the USA does - estimated 20-30 million illegals are getting HC here - Go to ANY other country and you must BE A CITIZEN to get HC - visitors must pay for HC which is why many buy HC policies for travel outside the USA. We cover MORE ILLEGALS than most countries have people. The USA is now well over 300 milion people.. NO OTHER COUNTRY has that many people and provides national HC at the level we do.

Thats false, france, england, germany all treat foreign visitors for free or very little charge in their national health systems. Really what we need to do to get rid of this illegal immigration problem is abolish the border. If its not illegal to migrate, then there is no longer any illegal alien problem.
