Simple Question - Is Healthcare a human right?

[moelarrycheese 0]

No, it's not. It's a service that you purchase, just like going to one of those quickie lube shops for your oil change.

[The Dude 206]

I think every person has the right to have their life saved from impending death or harm. Anyone should be able to walk into an Emergency Room at any hospital and not be denied needed treatment because of inability to pay.

Following that line of logic - it makes more sense to treat them before they reach the point of needing emergency care.

What about babies? Your a joke! Thats right, babies arent ppl until their BORN!

Owned........Pawned

Yeah, very telling how some excuse ones right to "life", even a week before birth.

My friends, it's called "Plastic compassion".

In an early topic I documented how these Bleeding-Hearts, hardly give any one their own money, time... or even donate blood.

Now they preach to us.

Spare me.

You say that you support smaller government, less intrusion into the lives of it's citizens........ except when it comes to people choosing what they can and cannot do to their own bodies.

Secondly, that thread you posted was completely flawed and with NO statistical basis. Just because you post a series of statistics doesn't mean that they quantify anything.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

I wonder if any of the people crowing about whether conservatives are more "charitable" actually donate themselves. You don't score "Charity Points" on the basis of the behaviour of people you identify with, but rather with what you yourself actually do.

What's the betting that in this case - hypocrisy starts at home.

[Otto 83]

Actually its called bullshit, not that I'd expect anyone here to fully appreciate the nuances of complex moral issues beyond their narrow pigeonholed partisan world view. Independent thoughts are as rare in these parts as a lightning strike.

Yup - free thinking, for many, is apparently very difficult. Too busy spouting propaganda to realize they themselves are being manipulated.

Make up your mind dude. Every life has a right to be saved from death or harm or they dont. Quit talking out of both sides of your mouth.

So, what about them babies after they're born? Then you guys don't give a ** neither about the child nor the mother. If the child suffers some disease that the parents can't afford to have treated properly then that's on them. ** them and ** that dang child. Pro life my #######.

Now, now ,now, take a deep breath and exhale slowly. It will be fine.

As you know the system we have now will care for any new born child. They wont be thrown out into the dumpster if they are sick. Mom and child will be taken care of until its time to go out on their own, regardless of income.

Socialist Troll.

Different issue, different considerations. Platitudes abound on this topic - useful it isn't. Neither is it informative, or intelligent.

Some here think the Supreme Court and our system of government is a joke. They hate America and everything it stands for.

Do try to make a valid point one of these days instead of making things up. I don't recall ever saying anything of the sort.

[Usui Takumi 1,562]

I think the OP has been listening the Shawn Colmes on the Radio or something. I recalled a woman calling and said health care is a human right. It certainly isn't. But, it's the moral obligation of a Doctor to treat patient. Reason, why are there Doctors in Medicine? Simple answer, to care for the sick. It's part of a reason to be a doctor.

Education isn't a right. However, we must have people who are capable of running the future of our country. The leaders of our country must be a well-rounded person and aware of alot of things. Education is a means to provide the path for the leaders and management of society. Without it, it's almost as letting ignorance becoming the ideal living condition.

LoL had to look up who Colmes is. I'm one of those people killing newspapers because I get 90% of my news from the web. (The other 10% from the Colbert Report.) ...and I think you probably missed my second post where I outlined that while its not a right, its a priority equal to or greater then basic education.

You seriously have to be deranged to think along those lines.

True. If there were such a hospital, there might as well be a North US, and South US unions.

Its certainly not in line with the conventional wisdom.

Suppose we could make anyone that earns a living in giving healthcare, slaves.

[Usui Takumi 1,562]

Are teachers, principals etc slaves?
