When Did Having Healthcare become a Right?

Anonymous
Since healthcare must be performed by others and has to be paid for, how is it a right? If it is a right, what does that look like? Free neighborhood clinics or cancer treatment at MD Anderson?

Does your brain make a noise when it rattles around in your head?

When did having roads become a right?

Or fire stations?

Those are not rights, and no one has ever said they were rights.

Funny how no one dares to say what free health care is supposed to look like.

Probably appropriate to mention, there were roads *before* there were taxes.

Since the Declaration of Independence.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

As civilization progresses, we get more things and now we understand that the pursuit of Happiness doesn’t happen if you are suffering from never ending physical pain. We can also do something about it.

The declaration doesn’t say we all have to suffer in order to get these things, but that they are unalienable rights.

When you know better, you do better and that my friend is the history of the living document. the standards of life and happiness change with the times. DO you think in 1776 an IVF petri dish would be considered a life? No, because they couldn’t even imagine it. Things change dude.

The Declaration of Independence proclaimed rights to be free from government intrusion in one's life not that that same government must do something for a person.

It has long been a right in other first world countries because government leaders understood that a healthy citizenry is a productive one.
BTW, education is also a right. Kids are taught by teachers who are paid for by our tax dollars. You are not as clever as you imagine.

Nobody has the "right" to free labor of another human being or the "right" to take another person's money to pay for free services.

It is charity given by the grace of others.

The entitlement attitude is childish and gross.

13:03 beautifully illustrates the evil machine maga wishes to correct. The machine is make people sick via food, air, water, etc., thus forcing them into lifelong, the painful sick care industry.
