Politics: Since healthcare is not a right, are you ok with being denied healthcare even if you can pay?

Single payer healthcare means that either affordability and/or quality of healthcare decreases. Not to mention a single year of single-payer healthcare would cost more than the entire Iraq War.

ABSOLUTELY. In fact, I think the doctor has a duty to deny "health care" in many cases where people can pay for "health care".

Many people ask for "health care" things to be done which are not in the best interest of the patient. The Doctors take a vow to do no harm as they see it. Doctors are not salves, should not be treated as slaves and should not be forced to give any health care which they find immoral to do. Doctors take a vow to do no harm and the gov't should not interfere with that vow.

Now IFFF you are talking about morality and not RIGHTS, then we can have a conversation. It is not moral for doctors to not provide emergency services. Not only do I think it is immoral, but I think it is so immoral, that if YOU specifically were dying and a doctor refused to treat you, I would put a gun to the doctor's head and force the doctor to treat you. Hence, we have a law that requires this of doctors.

This is very simple.

The government uses force to impose it's will. When you ask the gov't to do something, you are asking them to use force to do it. You should think about what you ask the government to do anything and ask yourself if you would use force to implement it. If your answer is no, then why would you ask the government to use force?

Try getting healthcare at an awkward hour in Canada. You really have no clue what socialism is like, do you?

Who has been denied healthcare?

This is how it always works with the intellectually handicapped. reductio ad absurdum.

There is no right to be a doctor. Doctors are allegedly a self-policing profession. Usually with government backing in the guise of a licensure requirement. If a doctor chooses to be a doctor first, then his religion is irrelevant. If he chooses to be a Muslim, Christian, Jew, Hindu, Rosicrucian, Rastafarian, or Scientologist first, ahead of his professional responsibilities, the profession won't admit him. At least in the Untied States. I don't care how it works elsewhere.

Here is an analogy:

Community college is free, I'm not sure Ivy league college can be free for everyone.

*WAH*! Doctors might have the same rights as every other businessman!*WAH*!(snowflake!)

Guess you didn't know that there is a law that requires hospitals to provide emergency services to people in need.

Of course.
