Berniefags. What does he mean when he says that people should have a "right" to free health care? What other goods and services to people have a "right" to have?
I don't think any state or cities explicitly say that people have the right to have a police department. Policemen get a paycheck and they provide their services. Same with firefighters.
If Bernie has his way and says that everybody should have a "right" to free health care, what's stopping hospitals from saying "lol none of you get paid"? Or the state from saying "we have a shortage of doctors and nurses, but since everybody has a right to health care you guys absolutely must continue working and we don't have to pay you". Same deal with vacations, etc.
Shed some light on this, Bernie supporters.
Not leaning either way but technically firefighters and police officers are "free services" on the basis that you don't pay for them as you need them, you provide for them through taxes. I don't think it would be a bad thing to have "free" health care. Could you imagine your house burning down and then getting billed by the fire department for helping?
>>26350255
there's no consensus on what rights people "should" have. it boils down to a moral decision which each person has to make for himself.
presently, americans don't legally have a right to healthcare. i believe it's a moral imperative to make it a right, and that's one of the main reasons i'm a berniefag
>>26350451
I think we should aim to make health care a service available to everybody, but I think using the word "right" takes it too far. When you grant the "right" to everybody, the people who provide that service have their rights taken away.
I think the Bernie campaign should make it clear as to what it actually means to make health care a right. I'm not aware of people having the right to any other good or service. If I bump into a doctor at a restaurant, does my "right" mean that he has to perform a prostate exam on me right then and there? And what if he's a radiologist? I have the right to have his services, so he can't refuse, right?
Why do conservatards always take things to ridiculous extremes or try to use weird comparisons when they're trying to justify not having universal healthcare?
If you want to know how it works, look at every other country in the world who has it instead of trying to claim complete nonsense like hospitals will stop paying paying workers or somehow force them to work ridiculous hours.
Policemen are firefighters are other tax funded services, so fuck only knows what you point is in mentioning them. I suppose you creepy, selfish fucks wish they were user pays as well.
People should have the right to healthcare that is 'free" via taxation at the point of need.

The question is about the terminology. Why should it be a "right"? Nobody here is saying that health care shouldn't be universally provided. The key word is "right". No state's constitution says that people have the right to food and water. Why health care? And why doesn't that take away from the rights of a health care worker?
>>26350987
Why shouldn't people have the right to access the healthcare they require? It doesn't mean they can get anything they want at any time - it just means that when they are in need they can be assessed and treatment can be performed it required, or scheduled.
Without being hyperbolic - explain what rights are being taken from a heathcare worker.
People should have the right to clean water.
There's something incredibly fucked about the mindset of your country when you will shit your pants in rage for the "right" to own all the guns and shoot people, but hospitals where anyone can be treated is an affront to you.
>>26350255
It's rhetoric. What he means is that you shouldn't become bancrupted because you get cancer. Or that your health care should not depend on your work. Or that there shouldn't be millions of people without health care insurance at all.
Single Payer is just a more efficient way of covering everyone and lowering costs. Insurance companies act as middle men and drive up costs. A single payer system is by most estimates much cheaper.
I'm Canadian and Single Payer is just something I consider to be common sense.

actually most countries do say that police are absolutely obliged to help citizens. same for firefighters. there are generally statutes in cities that say that they have to take care of those sorts of securities, and when those fail, there are usually provincial or state-level police to pick up the slack

Education is a right. Replace this statement with teacher and it shows how silly it is.
All it means in practice is that the government will fund teachers, police, healthcare, etc so that they are able to meet customers needs. Nothing about forcing random professionals off the street to meet your needs now.

>the people who provide that service have their rights taken away
under single-payer, arguably. but that case couldn't be made with just the public option in place, and that's realistically as close as we're going to get to socialized medicine in the foreseeable future.
private hospitals and practitioners wouldn't be directly shut down, nor would private insurers. but they'd lose a good chunk of their customer base who currently have no alternative to buying into the private system.
socializing medicine would encourage actual competition, and despite what every ideological capitalist will tell you, competition is ultimately bad for their profit margins.
>>26351217
>explain what rights are being taken from a heathcare worker.
I don't know because nobody has explained what it means for health care to be a right. Again, I do believe that people should universally have access to free health care. I'm just on the fence about the terminology of it being a "right".
Let's define a "right" to be something that a person is legally entitled to. Whose legal responsibility is it to provide that right? The government, the hospital, the physicians, or all the other providers who work in a hospital/physician office?
>The government has a legal obligation to reimburse hospitals for providing health care service
Alright, I can live with that.
>The hospital has a legal obligation to treat a patient in need
This is already a legal right, so that's fine too.
>A physician has a legal obligation to treat a patient
This is what I'm unclear on. So let's expand this point a bit.
If someone is having a heart attack on a plane, then sure - the physician should do everything in his power to help that person. But let's play with this idea a little.
A doctor takes his kid out to the local playground, where there are other children. One parent walks up to the doctor and says, "Hey. My son has had a fever and a sore throat for a week straight. Will you look at him?".
Now, does the doctor now lose his right to refuse to look at the kid? That kid now has a "right" to health care. They live an hour away from the closest hospital. Is the doctor obligated to drive them?
>all the other providers
So let's repeat that scenario, but with a nurse. Is the nurse legally obligated to examine the kid?
People think this is a ridiculous argument, but I disagree. I think it's important to be absolutely clear on what laws are being proposed. Otherwise we end up with more shit like the Patriot Act, and people who want to take advantage of loopholes to fuck over someone else for personal gain.
>>26351605
>Most of the things I use are provided by private enterprise.
And do those come from some nearby universe that we have no interaction with?
Or do they benefit heavily from our system?
We have roads, police, legal systems, etc etc that every private industry uses. They make use of employees who were educated by our tax dollars.
Taxes are just them paying back. This is part of the social contract.

>>26351684
What a rebel you are.
Like it or not, all of us are part of a social contract between each other, and the governed and rulers.
We pay taxes. Everyone plays by the same rules. The state acts as an intermediary on disputes and spends the taxes.
We get the benefit of a nice society, and a lot of goodies.
The "taxation = theft" thinking ignores that we constantly get shit from those same taxes.

Single Payer costs less and would save the USA trillions of dollars each year.
Current health care isn't free either. It's very expensive.
Cutting out the private insurance middle men would save a lot.
The mistake people make is to assume that Single Payer would be NEW spending, when it's just taking current spending and changing how it is spent.
so libturds admit taxation is theft but its ok since they build a few roads and bomb third worlders hmmk

Fair pay and working conditions comes from the scarcity of certain workers (nurses) and from the mountains of laws that hospitals have to follow. But yeah, some hospital workers are unionized but most aren't.

Rights are completely man made things
Somewhere at some time people decided "oh this is a good idea for a right" and it becomes law
What does it mean to have the 'right to bear arms'? It's not some universal law, like physics, it's completely made up. Only Americans can't understand this even when they're told it.
Anyway, doctors take a Hippocratic oath to help people who need help so that last shitty sentence is fucking useless. Doctors in the US ALREADY have an obligation to help those who would otherwise die

Basically, his entire perspective comes down to the responsibilities of a government. The people of any nation give their support, power, and money to the government. In return, the government is expected to provide protection, leadership and other things of value to the wider community.
So when people discuss a right to health care, it's really saying people have a right to have their government provide for their well-being in this manner. Same with police, firefighters and, in most other advanced countries, medicine.
>what's to stop the hospitals
Because the rights he's talking about aren't enshrined - they're a part of a political ideology known as social democracy. Australia does it, for example.
Nobody will be treated that way, because there are laws to protect employees (less in the States, which might want to make you think about the power employers have too).
>>26350718
You outline a little more here, which I'm taking to mean boils down to a matter of semantics to you.
Plus I just want to point out, single payer system doesn't mean the state is necessarily running a lot of the medical stuff - just means that hospitals and private practices essentially opt into a bulk billing system. They get paid by the subsidised system.

The cost of living will not lower as taxes rise. Corporations will pass the tax burden on to the customers as well as firing employees and closing stores, and small businesses will follow suit to stay competitive.
A big name retailer you may have heard of just raised their employees baseline pay by 2% and closed over 100 stores across the nation to cover this expense, while cutting hours at existing stores. That's without seizing their profits for distribution to their customers who are in turn giving them back a fraction of their own money in exchange for more goods. This is what happens when you invest in programs like food stamps instead of freeing up those funds to be invested in payroll.

what do you mean by "intentional"?
you listed a few scary vices, but what if i define intent differently? for instance, let's say someone goes mountain climbing, falls, and gets seriously injured.
obviously, mountain climbing is a dangerous activity that has no reason to exist outside of the enjoyment of the person participating in it. much like smoking meth.
should that also not be covered by public healthcare? should it be limited to unavoidable or occupational hazards?
even if you think so, i will still disagree. as i said, it is a moral judgment that everyone has to make individually.

used to volunteer in a hospital for two years. this happens, though it doesnt take long for the staff to realize they are faking especially when, you know, it happens all the time and they are well aware of it.
the thing is, if you go into a hospital with a bag of dirty possessions (like the homeless people that came into our hospital tended to have) they would throw it all away. that is, spare foods, clothing, etc. it all goes in the garbage.
they'll stay there a full 24 hours tops, then leave with even less than they had before. they tend to avoid hospitals because of this. anything close to causing an economic collapse is ridiculous.

In case you haven't noticed, plutocrat rule is working out quite well in conjunction with new banking regulations.
The average American home- No, nearly every American home enjoys the luxuries of infrastructural connection, refrigeration, air conditioning, heating, television, internet, phone service, automobile ownership, furnishing, lighting, a wide array of consumables, hot water, waste management, and hygiene products. All of this we can afford with our income. We already have access to the public services a functional nation deems necessary to funnel taxes into.
Americans live in a utopia they've become blind to because socialists have introduced the idea that they could have all of this without contributing to society. They've distorted the image of free will as a responsible force to govern commercial trends. They've obfuscated the moral implications of success by insisting it can't be meritorious and decrying its presence as exploitative. They've unwoven the fabric of the American family by contradicting their message and suggesting child support, food stamps, welfare, and alimony are an adequate substitute for a father in a young American's life.
The European Union is unraveling and you haughty braggarts are too drunk on your own morally relativistic self-deprication that you can't see your bloated, overtaxed labor markets collapsing. Germany's banking scare this afternoon comes as no surprise. This will keep happening and you'll keep eating up Merkel's bread and circus act while your entire continent sinks under the weight of a generation of Europeans and immigrants who think the world revolves around their leisure.
It's just rhetoric. The language of universal rights has had emotional sway in the hearts of Westerners for quite some time. In actuality, you either have it or you don't. Those who favour something will utilize "rights" as a rhetorical tool. This is especially acute in the US where the rigid two party system encourages a good vs evil mentality.
I'm in favour of some kind of national healthcare system, but I do get the other side of it as well. Mandatory opt-in universal care is essentially forcing healthier people to subsidize everyone else; you can't really escape that fact.
It's disingenuous to counter by saying that everyone gets old eventually (eg, >>26352416). Old people who have taken care of their health simply won't cost the system as much as old people who haven't.

Yeah like student loans amirite? Oh wait...
Yeah like retirement savings with social security amirite? Oh wait...
Yeah like education, we totally don't spend the most per kid as a country and still get top results, amirite? Oh wait...
It's not like the government didn't set up the current broken system we have now with the "your company must give you health insurance" because everyone has the same job until they die, amitrite? Oh wait...

Democrats are similar in that respect: abortion, gun control, diversity, affirmative action.
Wealth inequalities are there too, but it's been somewhat overshadowed compared to the past because social issues have eclipsed it in importance.

Go look up voting records on are wars. You might be astonished how pro war democrats are. (Not that I'm implying democrats are liberals).

what are you on about? the gym isn't dangerous. the worst you can reasonably expect is a hernia. how many people have broken bones and ended up in traction from lifting?

Yeah because when you distort markets things get magically more productive. Not like money solves the pricing problem or anything, better just scoop it up in a big bucket and spend it with the finesse of a fire hose.

If the pay that can be expected from taxation for a doctor is anywhere close to the current Medicare "reimbursement" rate you're going to have a lot less talented doctors.

>what's stopping hospitals from saying "lol none of you get paid"? Or the state from saying "we have a shortage of doctors and nurses, but since everybody has a right to health care you guys absolutely must continue working and we don't have to pay you"
A huge number of laws, I mean, this is a really stupid question, he's framing healthcare as being massively funded like a huge number of other services, in effect you might as well ask what stops them from just not paying the police.
The answer is a bunch of shit, labor laws, taking employers to court, etc.
His proposal is only to have a different kind of insurance provider, your question doesn't even make any sense

Mutual funds are just all businesses in a single 'stock'. It's still investing. If they invest less money less jobs are created. You did a good job of highlighting how retarded Bernie supporters are though. It's probably the only thing you're good at.
>>26353113
You've actually made a very good point. I do have a right to weapons.
People do not have a a right to healthcare.
So if you're saying my rights have to be payed for by taxes, then all my guns and ammo should be paid for by taxes!
In Soviet Union, health care frees YOU!
>>26352621
Greeks were saying that a few years ago, too.
Fuck off you neets I don't want to pay for your fucking hospital trips!
we should have a single-payer system but it makes no sense to have a right to something that needs to be provided by others
>>26353429
that's just because you're going for the high score :^)

>every other country with universal healthcare is NHS in the UK.
There's really no point taking you seriously when you think the rest of the world is run under the British system.
>>26352986
Ironic, considering your kind will argue that our choice to make healthcare a right isn't viable, and yet it is a reality all over the world.
>>26353033
>"Not anything they want any time, but everything they want at some time"
I didn't say that at all. Perhaps you lack the intelligence to comprehend that assessing the situation means working out what actually needs doing and proceeding accordingly.
Maybe you should just grow the fuck up as a nation and start actually challenging all the complete bullshit you are sold by people with a vested interest in taking as much of your money as possible.
>>26353409
so you really think a person who makes billions feel the need to invest all this money if they have no pressure from taxes to do so?
Dont get upset now.

I'm a roid monkey and consider the gym dangerous as fuck. In my first two years I fucked up my back twice and got a stress fracture in my foot from the track. If you aren't retarded it's safe but I knew what to do and still fucked up. Most guys I see in the gym aren't fucked only because they're afraid of breaking a nail or sweat.
>>26352443
do you like... actually believe the fire department is paid by fire insurance?
Do they like... not come if you're not insured? Of if it's public property burning?

>>26353480
ok lol so maybe you tried to deadlift your body weight on week two and threw your back out
my original point is that life is inherently dangerous, shit happens, and healthcare should be available to everyone
This question is so fucking retarded. You have a right to healthcare in the sense that the government will be your health insurance. As in, you won't be blocked from medical services because you can't fork over huge amounts of money. It's really obvious and simple, and entirely possible and beneficial to anyone making under twenty million dollars yearly
>>26350905
You already do smartass. Who do you think pays for billy bob taking his kid to the ER when he's bleeding out from a dirt bike accident uninsured? Your taxes, and more are needed with this system in place.
The only way Bernie is going to very significantly change your finances is by saving you from paying outrageous prescription drug and health insurance prices, which you are getting FUCKED on RIGHT NOW
>>26353264
I've talked with a bunch of doctors and they've already told me America is fucked and that medicine isn't worth it anymore. Most are telling me to go into nursing and go for advanced practice nursing if I want a prescription pad so badly. Ever since Obama ruined the Healthcare system physicians were screwed. Even if me repeal it it's fucked. I love Trump and would totally suck his dick, to homo, but notice how he says repeal and replace Obamacare. It's still shit even if it's called Trumpcare. Fuck trying anymore. I'm in nursing school now and would like to be an anesthetitist, but if not fuck it, geri/acute care is 90k/yr. Medicine is dead in America. I guess the earth belongs to stupid rice dick chinks now.

>I have a right to own weapons.

Please use one of those weapons to fucking kill yourself. Your guns aren't paid for by taxes because you get them from privately owned businesses. Public healthcare is government owned so it is funded through taxes.
>>26353307
Look at the UK. Nurses practically work for free. I sure as hell wouldn't want to be a nurse there or anywhere in EU. Converting good boy points to real money they only make half as much as burger nurses.
>>26353497
They only need to invest if they want to be rich. Think about it. Would you rather make -2%/yr or 8%/yr? I'm not even rich and I'd rather 8% than losing money, rich people feel the same, they invest. You don't even have a leg to stand on. Rich people invest, less taxes means more investing.
>>26353627
Nice flop on your initial argument
>>26352405
If you can't pay for private healthcare, you probably deserve to die anyways

If America stopped spending so much on defense and made the yuropeons actually sack up, you wouldn't be gloating
>>26350255
Because the average person pays taxes and they should get something out of it.
I'm going to vegas. Have to get health insurance because getting stitches would cost me 5K, lol.
Who wants to live like that? if you get really sick, that would be terrifying. Especially if you have a family to support.

It's honestly not that much compared to gibsmedats (ss & Medicare). Even just interest on our debt is almost half as much as defense.
