Of course it's not. That's not how a right works. Rights are essentially there to make sure nobody gets in the way of what you should be allowed to do. Example: The 1st amendment gives us the right to free speech, the freedom of press, and peaceful protest. Nobody is allowed to infringe on those rights. Nobody is allowed to get in your way Now apply that to healthcare... Suddenly nobody is allowed to get in your way to receive medical treatment for free? Now a doctor will be [i]forced[/i] to treat you, and it'll come out of the pocket of the public? That's complete bullshit. That's not a right that allows you to be left alone, that's you taking something for others because you feel you deserve it simply because you exist. [u]That's straight up stealing.[/u] A doctor shouldn't be forced to see somebody, and I sure as he'll don't want to pay so that somebody else gets health coverage, unless I'm willingly donating through a charity. It's just not how a right works...just as you have the right to [i]seek[/i] an education, you also have the right to [i]seek[/i] healthcare just like everyone else. Nobody is standing in your way, but that doesn't mean you can demand something of others for free.

    You are incredibly wrong. Healthcare (not just access to it) is a universal right, which, by definition, means simply existing as a human entities you to healthcare. The US constitution is 200 years out of date. Besides, if you knew anything about the US healthcare system, you'd know that a physician cannot refuse a patient that requires life-saving treatment. (I'm not suggesting this is sufficient).

  • Healthcare is a service, not a right. Everyone has the right to purchase healthcare.
