Why healthcare isn't a Right.....

[hadit]

Thank god we have a right to firearms.

We have the right to bear arms. We don't have the right to force anyone to make a gun and sell it to us. That, however, is what you are doing when you declare healthcare to be a right. You are forcing someone to get trained in providing healthcare, someone else to manufacture the implements used in providing healthcare, someone else to build hospitals and doctors' offices, and someone else to make drugs for your use.

That's the difference.

The matter of healthcare as a right was decided by the SCOTUS when they declared it was just a tax, not a right.

Congress should not even be writing a health care law unless that law is to outlaw insurance companies. The healthcare infrastructure would be forced to charge a reasonable rate for their services if people could only afford a specific amount for x treatment.

No one in the system is ever going after the insurance companies or any other center of corporate wealth and power.

Trump is looking into ways to address the costs of healthcare. It's a problem that starts much deeper than insurance.

He's already talked about scaling back certain regulations that only increase the price of medications.

Don ain't gonna do shit and neither is anyone else. Watch. The Canadians get US pharma products for less than you do. Course they have nationalized single payer healthcare and can negotiate based upon volume. Then the pharma industry makes up the difference on your pricing.

I'm thinking you hold some deep rooted biased opinions.

Trump, against all odds, won the election because of the problems being ignored by democrats. Problems that negatively impacted millions of families.


Anyone with an ounce of common sense can see he's right. It's why I'm supporting him, 100%.
