Is there an argument against health care as a basic human right that is not based in capitalism?

Any right that costs money necessarily requires someone to pay for it. Health care especially since it's not cheap. This has nothing to do with capitalism, per se, that's just reality. The only way capitalism is involved is that only wealthy countries can afford to even talk about providing health care as a "basic right" and that means mostly capitalist countries (and a few resource-rich countries like Saudi Arabia). If you look at the countries with "free" health care, you never see any poor countries on the list.

No. Health care is free enterprise. You want treatment, you hire a doctor or hospital.

Sure, health care is not a basic human right. If you are alone in the woods, you have a right to say what you want. You have a right to think what you want. You have a right to arm yourself and protect yourself.

You don't have a right to health care. Health care is about getting someone else to give you said health care. Your health care provider must be PROVIDING and you have no right to force them to do so with compensation. You have no right to make a slave of someone. I know you may THINK you have that right, but you do not.

Now IFFFFF you want to talk about what we should be doing as a moral society to take care of each otehr, that is one thing. Let's talk.

If, however, you want to LIE and pretend you can just call anything a human right and ignore what real human rights are, well screw off. I won't even begin a conversation where you ignore what is obvious.

yes evolution take take a place, the poor stupid humans should

die and the smart wealthy humans should reproduce

the whole problem is, nothing is free. If healthcare would be truly free, then it would need massive funding, and all of our taxes would go up substantially to fund it. your looking at minimum 30 percent increase in your overall taxes and definite cuts in military spending.

As a Canadian I'm all for public health care but I don't see it as a basic human right. I just see it as something wise to do. It's both ethical, it helps my neighbor, and it is good for me (I like it that my neighbor has my back if I get sick or injured). I participate by choice but I still don't see it as a basic right.

Love that money!!!!! LOL
