No. It's nice and all but if it wasn't there you wouldn't be substantially inconvenienced. In fact that's where you're headed as a planet anyways. Local, green, sustainability, blah, blah...

So off roads and back to healthcare. Is healthcare a right? Does your right to healthcare substantially inconvenienced someone else?

IOW, let's say you get sick and you require bedside service for several weeks. How many people does your right require?

Then why do we have them? Why aren't you out protesting you're having to pay taxes on them and yet I can drive on the portion that you pay for? If you truly believe what you write, you would be.

Europe and other countries have free health care.
5 Weeks vacation per year
Honeymoon payed
Government send a baby sitter to your house to help clean, laundry when woman pregnant in France.

After watching a good documentary called "Sicko", it exposed bad it is in US. makes me want to leave U.S.
Why are there so many different health insurance companies.
It never ceases to amaze me that those who pay nothing can't comprehend others pay something.

Rights are bestowed not paid for...

Nope, lets finish this thing about roads. Are they a right? Could you get to work without them? Or get to the store? How could stores be supplied without them? How would our society function without them?

Rights may be agreed upon but agreements may not be rights. I'm simply answering the question in the thread title. That doesn't mean I'm for or against a single payer, national, universal, ultra high professional glitzy glamorous emphatically wonderful health care for all living things deal.

Define road. Is a road a beaten path? A dirt road? A gravel road? Asphalt? Concrete? When does the beaten path become a right?

Anything a car can be safely driven on. Beaten path? You tell me. Don't make that path across my property though, I'll shoot you.

So, how about it? A right? If not, you starve. Which is ok with me. Is it ok with you?

If you vote or believe in the legitimacy of the government you have given your rights away. How they are thrown back to you after they've been raped and plundered is how you take them.
