How can health care be a right when it requires somebody else to provide it for you?

Oh. Is that how it works?
Then why is everyone saying I need to be given healthcare?


"SILENCE"
Human beings have a right to stay alive and those things necessary to remain alive should they so choose. Having the right to healthcare allows people to have the choice to continue living. Owning a gun does not guarantee life. It’s little more than a shiny security blanket.

How much does it take to learn to make and use a gun?
Better start learn, or be able to call a friend that did. No one can deny you that.
But every Person in the USA has every right to say, NO.

Doesn't make any sense as to why it should be a right. You can force somebody to give you medical treatment. Yes there are people who do it for a job but what if you're stuck somewhere that gives you no chance at calling 911. You can't force somebody to help you.

Well obviously you can't if that person who has medical experience is a d*k. Now how far will yo go to make sure your loved one is saved?

True, I mean learning CAD, 3D printing and how guns work and some practice, you can learn it.

However a doctor is a much more intense field which required YEARS of study and learning an eff ton about how the body works...

If you want people to work, they need to be healthy.

People can be healthy without guns.

I'm not saying I am against health care for all. I'm just saying your preaching what liberals always preach & the fact is it's not a right by the US constitution. If they want to add in something then it's a different story but until they do it's not a right.

A person can't demand to be given a gun because it's a right.

The same as a person can't demand to be given healthcare.

Healthcare requires an educated person to render their knowledge/work to you. You are not entitled to someone's else's work. You have no right to their knowledge.
