The simplest of Qst. regarding HC coverage.....

[nat4900]

Please be mindful that I am referring strictly to one's coverage......

It seems that the right has concluded that such coverage is a "Privilege".........while

The left has also concluded that such coverage is a "Right" of every American.

So, do you think it is a privilege...... or a right

 

[JoeMoma]

I believe healthcare is a commodity.

 

[ScienceRocks]

I think it is a right...The rest of the first world considers it a RIGHT. We shouldn't be different.

Be different for what? So people can die or be trapped in insane debt.

 

[Sunni Man]

Although nitwit lefty liberals think it's a "right". ...

I've never heard any conservative refer to it as a "privilege". .....

Prove me wrong then, and to a conservative calling HC a privilege.

 

[Billy_Kinetta]

If a right, where is it enumerated as such?

 

[Billy_Kinetta]

I think it is a right...The rest of the first world considers it a RIGHT. We shouldn't be different.

The rest of the first world is collapsing. We have no obligation to follow them.

 

[ScienceRocks]

Why be different?

People shouldn't have to worry about healthcare and whether they will die based on their class. Lets be normal for a first world country for once.

I believe healthcare is a commodity.

Just for the English language sake........

A commodity is an article....a product...a thing to be bartered with or traded ...which is distinguishable FROM a needed service.

 

[Billy_Kinetta]

I think your vision of normal and mine differ greatly.

There is no Constitutional mandate for the federal government to provide "needed" services, only those mandated by the document.

 

[JoeMoma]

Are the things people need such as food, shelter, cloths rights that are to be provided for them, or do we have an expectation that adults provide for themselves. It's one thing to have a safety net for the less fortunate, but there is a difference in needs and rights.

Well, that "pursuit of happiness" phrase may include NOT going bankrupt because you developed leukemia.....

BTW, The Constitution MUST evolve.....otherwise we'd still slave owners.

 

[Sunni Man]

She is definitely a liberal Democrat.

Try again......

Services are also commodities....products to be bartered with or traded. Many commodities are needed.

Somehow, the rest of the civilized world has found the "middle ground" to your query.......For us, instead, the lobbyists still manage to bribe our politicians to do the bidding of the lobbyists' employers.
