Is healthcare a right or a privilege?

[Padawanbater2]

Do you think people should have equal access to healthcare regardless of their ability to pay for it or do you believe people should only have access to healthcare if they can pay for it?

I definitely feel that everyone should have equal access to Healthcare.

Money facilitates trade but in essence is unnecessary. Healthcare should always be free.

 

[ChesusRice]

I think it should be a right.
Unfortunatly in this country its a privilege. The Moneyed want the working man to have no rights to healthcare, welfare, unemployment or worker representation.

It takes away from their power over the employee. How many people do you know that kept working at a shitty job because of the health insurance?

Everyone deserves health care. No one should ever be denied health care.

I just don't know of a way to implement national health care without killing our economy.

And I'm not talking about Obamacare. The deductibles are so high for some people that they can't afford to actually use the insurance sometimes when they need it.

Rather, I'm talking excellent health care (the same as senators get) for low deductibles and co-pays. That's the insurance everyone needs and deserves.

But how do we afford it? While we also pay massive welfare, defense, social security, etc? And forgive millions of student loans?

Defense can be cut by half easily. We have over 1400 nukes. Im not worried about an enemy attacking us

How do other countries afford it?

 

[TBoneJack]

How do other countries afford it?

Other countries don't have our welfare, social security, litigation, defense, medicare, medicade, etc expenses we do.

And add national health care (really GOOD care, like senators have)? And we're already so far in debt...

Other countries don't have our GDP either but they manage

Everyone, regardless of the amount of your financial earnings, should have access to quality healthcare. With that said, it is neither a right nor a privilege, it is now a mandate.

I'm afraid we're on the same path as Greece. I'm sure they thought they could handle massive borrowing as well.

If I were to cast my vote today, I would vote Bernie Sanders.

Other countries, like Sweden, Norway & Finland have much more robust social safety net programs as well as higher quality healthcare

What they do differently is spend their taxes more efficiently and eliminate the massive upward redistribution of wealth places like the US see

I don't believe health care is either a right or privilege, it's a personal responsibility.

If they had guns they wouldn't get raped. and sandy hook was a hoax.
and take responsibility for your own actions and quit looking for others to take care of you.

so if a woman isn't carrying a gun then it is her fault if she gets raped?
