Health Care is NOT a right!

The first thing that has to happen is define rights. There are numerous definitions for rights. Civil rights are defined roughly as “: the rights of personal liberty guaranteed to United States citizens…” A right is defined as ” : something to which one has a just claim.” These two definitions together are good but not complete. I will add that a right is something to which you have independent of anyone or anything else.

Your right to life is a right because no one has to provide it for you. Parents procreate and thus you have existence. Life on the other hand is much more. You have the right to go to work; not a specific job. If you earn your job, someone is willing to pay for your services; providing of course that you perform the assigned tasks according to the standards of the payer, then you have a job.

You have a right to drive providing you can purchase or obtain transportation.

You do not have a right to something someone else is forced to provide. The provider is then a slave to you. Since slavery has been abolished for more than 150 years, and most believe that slavery is/was bad, we should avoid new instances.

Here’s what I mean…

If you own your life completely, no one has a claim on a single second of your life. If your life is yours and no one can take it away from you legally, then forcing you to work for something that benefits someone else, with little to no direct benefit to your life, they are forcing you into slavery. Think about the slaves of old and figure out what the difference is between them and us today. Is there? I mean of course, we are free to roam about and they weren’t. That is a big difference. But didn’t they work for their master? Didn’t the master benefit to a much greater extent than the slaves?

Yes of course they did. Slaves were given a roof and clothes and food that they had to grow and prepare themselves… Isn’t that where we are now? We work until after the middle of the year for the government (slave master). The government then metes out the fruits of our labor. If we’re lucky we can receive a mere pittance of what we produced.

It’s a shame that people don’t get this on their own.
