In my opinion, healthcare is not a right. Healthcare is a service that is priced via supply and demand just like other goods and services. No one will ever agree with me, but I know that if there was no such thing as health insurance, prices for health services would adjust to average income, thus more people could afford it out of pocket. Those who claim they can’t afford healthcare costs are the same people who can somehow find a way to buy a new car or go on a lavish vacation. All I can say is please “Kill the Bill” so that I am not fleeced for more taxes. I will gladly pay for my own healthcare thank you.

I guess I’ll be the contrarian here. I see basic healthcare as a right, in much the same way that I see the fire service, lifeguards, the police, the law courts, primary school eduction and even the military as a right. It is something I expect the government to provide for my protection as part of living in society, in exchange for paying taxes. I should mention I grew up in England, where the NHS is seen very much as another emergency service, such as fire and police. I find it so odd that we expect the fire service and police to protect our stuff for free but if anything happens to our bodies, we’re on our own. When did a house become more valuable than a person? Just my perspective.

Police and Fire Depts. are not free, but at least they are (for the most part) local organizations. The healthcare bill is just a huge debacle, and I can’t support having the government in control of it where it will be hugely politicized every election year.
