I am reminded of a passage I've read some time ago, about 10 years to be exact:
"A right to health care would entitle me to walk into any physician’s office and demand to be treated for free. The law would require the physician to comply with my demand. I could enter any pharmacy and demand any drugs I wanted for free, and the pharmacist would have to give them to me. Every hospital would be at my ...beck and call, required by law to serve me. It would be my right.
As America’s Founders understood so clearly, this type of “right” is not liberty but rather the opposite of liberty, because it forces one person to work for or serve another person. Liberty entails every person’s right to live his life without being coerced to serve another."

How many of the founders owned slaves??????? Lots of liberty in that.
People can find B.S. arguments for stuff they don't want to do all the time. Much like the current right wingers want to avoid providing care for the poor because it is economically inconvenient. I'm sure the founders found arguments justifying the ownership of slaves as to avoid their own economic inconvenience.

Ah yes, demonizing the founding fathers by using the racist slaveowner argument. Trick #3 in the progressive magicians' playbook.

Tres bien!!!! Viva la UHC!!!!
and somehow they live longer then us...............
perhaps instead of needing shiny clinics in which to sit, they just need clinicians to be more accessible (you know, no insane cost or financial barriers)
There was a clinic in Vegas just a year or two ago that was reusing needles. Right here in America. Viva our patchwork crappy overpriced system.

No system is perfect, but at least their system doesn't neglect people because they're poor. Or give them hepatits because they're trying to save money or lazy.
Personally, I think it's a great thing. If the doctor's office can resemble a prison (which it does in this case), patients will be very motivated to get better soon just to get the h*ll out.
