 Health care is not a right, but it seems that it could be considered a right if people believe their lives belong to the state or slave master. I mean people can consider anything a right but the question is what is a right and healthcare I mean there's a sense in which healthcare is a right and I'll get to that but healthcare is not a right in a sense that you Can't have a claim against somebody else's labor. You can't have a claim against somebody else's life You don't have a right to somebody else's time and resources and If all healthcare cannot be a right a Right is your freedom To pursue your values rationally without Exploiting others without using force on others without violating others rights as soon as you make healthcare a right You're violating the rights of doctors nurses drug companies. Everybody else who provides the service. They now become your slaves Not literally but in that aspect of their life. Yeah, they have to serve you. They have to treat you because it's your right What about their rights? So no healthcare is not a right the sense in which healthcare is a right is that you have a right to pursue health care That is you have a right To go to the doctor of your choosing if he's willing to accept you if you can come to mutually acceptable trade You have a right to pursue whatever drugs you want if you can get the owner of those drugs to sell them to you and a doctor to treat you with them it's up to you and The the producer it's you have a right to negotiate you have a right to transact you have a right to trade and Health care is just one more trade that we engage in so health care Health care is a right means trading health care services is a right and that's true and and property rights over health care is a right and that's true, but a right to health care That can never be a right And and it doesn't matter if you think you are a property of the state you are wrong And that is an evil position that must be You know We must we must shun shun What we need today what I called a new intellectual would be any man or woman who is willing to think Meaning any man or woman who knows that man's life must be guided by reason by the intellect Not by feelings wishes women's or mystic revelations Any man or woman who values his life and who does not get want to give in to today's despair cynicism and impotence and does not intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist Using the super chat and I noticed yesterday when I appealed for support for the show Many of you step forward and actually Supported the show for the first time.
