Well, if phytoplankton had property rights...which it doesn't.
Nice back pedal but the OP said nothing about waste products.

How about the rest of us refuse to foot the bill of law enforcement that defends the property ownership claims of the well to do? Oh but forcing that onto others is okay, isn't it, because it benefits you personally.

In case you didn't notice, since Canada doesn't go around stirring trouble up around the world, there aren't a bunch of countries or groups looking to attack them.

Nope. It's called the working class. Health insurance is too expensive for many and if they have it they cannot afford to use it with 5-8K deductible. They need that for basics- food, gas, utilities, ever increasing property taxes and maintenance of their working class houses. No way they qualify for Medicaid, because not quite poor.

Forcing healthcare on others, when it isn't a right, is immoral and repulsive.
Everyone needs healthcare, otherwise those who have it have to pay for those who don’t. How is that right. Why should our costs be higher in order to pay for you.

You don't believe someone who is with 60,000 posts has a real life involvement and deep connection to the rest of society?

Either the OP is independently wealthy via trust fund (unlikely), retired (possible), or most likely on Socialist security disability or some form of welfare that allows him to post 24/7 while mom is doing the cooking, cleaning and laundry.

Forcing healthcare? Is that how you twist the concept of access to healthcare for all Americans?
How is wanting that " forcing healthcare"? That's quite a spin.
Thinking healthcare is a privilege for those born affluent and not for those who actually EARN their way in life is immoral and repulsive- like you.
Pretty sad that you are so pathetic as to turn wanting healthcare for all Americans into " forcing healthcare"
WHAT exactly is " forcing healthcare"?
You don't want to buy insurance for yourself- so the taxpayers have to eat the cost of YOUR care if the unexpected happens? Is THAT what you're all mad about?.
Grow up, be responsible for your own medical bills, and EARN your own way someday- it'll change your perspective!!
