re: #402 Spare O’Lake

Is it really a source of national pride to deny that a basic level of health care should be a right of every citizen, regardles of ability to pay?

Where did I say deny health care.

I said health care itself is not a right. Neither is air.

You do not have a right to air.

You have to breath for yourself.

NO PERSON CAN DENY YOU ACCESS TO AIR!

But also no one can obligated to provide to breath for you.

Everyone has the right to obtain, to have access to health care.

But that right to access does not extended to pounding on my door, demanding I take you to the doctor and then pay for the visit.
