It’s true. Healthcare is not and cannot be a right.

You cannot have a right to what somebody else has to produce or somebody else’s labour. It contradicts the entire principle of individual rights.

Which is why the cost should be shouldered by a collective. To make sure that people who can't work be it children, disabled or old people have the healthcare they need. If we abandon those, what is the point of there being a society? Do we keep society or just become individuals all caring only about themselves?

You have family yes? Think about them if you'd like to see them healthy before you answer.

You are working towards a better tomorrow for yourself right? Let's do that without taking better tomorrow from those who already worked or those who will.
