Healthcare?

Question

How many of you believe Healthcare is a right?

If you dont believe it is a right, then how do you account for the unfairness of a child receiving different healthcare from another child just because their parents have different insurance, or maybe no insurance at all.

And dont tell me its an extreme example that is the type of situation you are advocating if you follow your belief through to its logical conclusions

I believe that in a democracy where we are taxed a considerable amount, healthcare and education are RIGHTS. This is not a concept we move back from.

Any thoughts?

jeeper peeper
Sorry but your logic is flawed
Im talking about healthcare...something which can directly affect whether or not you live or die.....that is not analagous to whether or not someone lives in more luxury. Having worse clothes than someone else cannot kill you or make your health worse.

This is about the right to life

Answer 1

for a country that suppose to have morals we don't seem to want to help the poor

Answer 2

1. We do not live in a true democracy, it is a demcoratic REPUBLIC
2. I can't seem to find healthcare mentioned in the Constitution
3. In your own example there seems to be no hinderance by GOVERNMENT in the acquisition of healthcare, it is ecomonic. If I can afford better health care, why sould I not be able to get it. I can buy a better car than many people and a better house, so why not healthcare.
4. If your implication is followed through to it's logical conclusions, everyone will receive the same level of healthcare (not necessarily the best available), doctors will essentially become government civil servants, already high taxes will have to increase, innovation will be sublect to government influence, and the overall standard would more than likely drop.
You are essentially advocating socialism. Thanks, I'll pass. The government is proven to be profoundly bad at running anything.

Answer 3

Health insurance should be required for all people, and the problem is markets dont work correctly for healthcare. Swiss Model of healthcare, or French system of healthcare coverage is good guide for America to follow because the right will never get complete freemarket healthcare because the liberals will throw in sealth regulations to make it impossible. The consveratives should start taking the ax to medicaid at all costs, and giving people pretax rebates for private coverage to force the left to realize the private sector does work for healthcare.

Healthcare is more complex issuse to me than social security because your dealing with life and death of a person, and not pension fund that is going broke that needs privatization. Give you a deal liberals privatize social secruity, and will give you the option to opt in nannie socailized care in return.

Answer 4

We are sending thousands of our young people to die & spending billions of our tax money to free a whole country from a brutal dictator & provide them with a better way of life & you people are condeming your own countrymen because they might need some help from you & I. The logic of your position is hard to follow! You want to hoard pennies from yourselves while spending dollars on another country. Talk about a priority.

Answer 5

Yes. I believe that everyone should receive quality healthcare. That means that all certified doctors, should be good doctors. All the possible medicine, should be available. All the necessary staff for a procedure, should be in place. I just don't approve of me having taxes taken out to pay for good quality healthcare of all the lazy bums on welfare who by the specific design of all welfare programs, have to be bums in order to receive.
