Quote:No, healthcare is not a right.  That no one should be turned away from receiving medical treatment is called humanity.

 

Among our certain inalienable rights are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

 

You are such a fan of a single payer system without actually stepping back and thinking about what that really means.  It means that we all would pay money into a big pool (of course run by GOVERNMENT) and the government in turn would pay a set price for health care.  Think about what that means, especially for doctors, nurses and other health care professionals.

 

Look at it this way.  You are an accountant.  You paid your way through school and work in your profession earning what your employer thinks your time and effort is worth.  What if the government suddenly said that you had to do my income tax return and the only compensation is what the government deems is "appropriate", no matter how much effort and time might be required.  Is that "fair"?
