It's my right...
You have the right to....
Healthcare is a right...
College is a right....


Is it really a right, if someone else has to do it for you?
Can I force you to provide a right to me?
Or, do rights deal with Natural Law and things you can provide for yourself?


Interesting to see the diverse viewpoints to come.....




Popcorn please!

Apparently education is a right for all children, something society provides through taxes as opposed to the parents. People who cannot afford health insurance are paying for someone else's kids school. So maybe health care should be a right too.

Education is a right for children because they can't educate themselves

College students are not children... They are adults who are expected to be responsible for their choices

Healthcare is not and never will be a right. Only the immoral and greedy would force healthcare on others.

Learn exactly what a right is and then make an informed comment please.

You were failed by your parents and teachers. They did not raise and educate you on HOW to be a kind compassionate person who cares for others and respects the rights of the individual. <<< see what I did there?

Forcing healthcare on others, when it isn't a right, is immoral and repulsive.

You can't educate compassion into someone

This statement and your viewpoint are immoral and repulsive in my opinion^^^ Denying healthcare to those who don't happen to have a fat bank account is as heartless as it gets

Look in the mirror to see the maker of an uninformed comment.

Universal access to healthcare should a be right in all civilized nations, but that doesn't mean that the actual provision of healthcare is being forced on anyone.

Funny, it's always the people who seem as though they have little to no interaction with the outside world who are against basic needs of a civilized society.....
