Health Care Is Not A Right!

[Cypress]

James Madison's thoughts on General Welfare Clause

With respect to the two words general welfare, I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators.

I think you would be surprised and shocked how many message board wingnuts actually collect disability or Medicare, while at the same time whining and wailing about getting the government out of health care

In 1948, the United States and the rest of the UN General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which reads in part...



Who gives a shit whether it is in the constitution?

The constitution itself says it does not spell out all possible rights. Amendment nine, as I recall.

The United States, thus recognized that the right to an adequate standard of health and medical care was a fundamental universal right, agreed to the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

That's the facts, Jack.

Irrelevant.

Would I?

[Lightbringer]

Feel free to tell your grandparents, your uncles, and your aunts to their faces that you demand they give up their Medicare because you are ideologically against the idea.

I wasn't talking about medicare, I was talking about you injecting foreign agents into a discussion about the Constitution. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

I was talking about the moral values of humanity and how some American republicans are an exception to values the rest of the world take as fundamental to being a human .
I believe Cypress was alluding to the same thing.

The left has made healthcare accessible for everybody. Now, nobody can afford it.

That's what happens when you make something a right.

[iolo]

Free health care is a human right, and anyone who denies it should be jailed for murder. It is easily affordable except when it has to compete with vanity prices paid by the thieving classes.

One of the most virulent right wing nuts ever to disgrace the web was a welfare cheat in Wisconsin.

UM,no, shitferbrains, it was
insurance which made it unaffordable.

[Micawber]

Whew, you're exasperating. Socialism is living off the handouts from others and not taking care of your needs yourself.

Uh, no.

[Rune]

Uh, no.

She would never call the fire dept.,
drive on a paved road, go to a public hospital, collect S.S.
and clearly didn't go to school.

or take a political science class.

No, sorry asswipe, socialism is when many pool their resources so that when a few of that group are in need they can be helped by drawing on that pool.
That is insurance, and socialism, described to a tee.
YOU are a fucking socialist and you never knew it.
LMFAO

That's the crux of it. Everything Republicans want they say is integral to what government is about, and everything they don't want they call socialism, meanwhile they use the whole of it unaware, like flicking a lightswitch walking into a dark room. They won't realise they are socialists by their own measure until the power goes out.
