So you are positing that a cancer patient doesn't need insurance? She'll get all of that treatment and therapy without shelling out a dime? She'll just get a big ole bill?

The assumption is the government is providing adequate services for the lowest cost possible.

This is not a monopoly for profit type scenario.
Ahh there's the issue.

There ya go again! Nice deflection, dude! Resort to projection because YOU don't want to acknowlege YOUR OWN stupid choices and behavior when it comes to your own health. Some of us have always been much smarter and more responsible.

But, since we're now talking about people's sexual behavior, I'll play along. I am a mother of 3 (almost grown) kids conceived within the parameters of a long marriage. Believe me, I've always been highly selective and pretty old school when it comes to intimate relationships. Can you say the same, or is this another area in which you are in no position to judge anyone else?

Oh, and get this: I'm not a "liberal." I'm not a "conservative." Can you dig it? You wanna put yourself into a box and stick a big, fat label on it, go ahead. I've never been much interested in that.

Your argument here isn't entirely unfounded; I'll give you that.

If you're so concerned with national defense, however, have you ever, or will you, enlist to protect our country? Or is that the dirty job only of kids from poor families who have few other options?

your rights are enumerated in the law, healthcare isn't mentioned, so absolutely not.

Of course not.


Slave labor is wrong, correct? Yes.

Are Doctors Slaves? No. That would be wrong, as we already established.

Then they work of their own free will? Yes.


If suddenly every doctor decided to leave the field and no one was left to supply services what would the government have to do to guarantee your right to healthcare?

My cousin is a VERY high earning medical doctor in Canada who practices medicine by his own "free will." I'm quite sure he has never felt that he was contributing "slave labor."

I wish people wouldn't make comments on things they know little about.

Equating a doctor to slave labor is one of the more ridiculous analogies I've ever seen here...and I've read a lot of nonsensical things on this forum.

They would say anything to justify they hatred for the poor and their mortal fear of losing their privileges and get equal treatment as someone they consider "lesser"
