» Brian Tubbs - Genuine Questions

Pink, my observations/comments/questions are really, truly at this point NOT intended to be argumentative. I'm genuinely asking....

Can the government decide that some people are obligated (even if it is against their will) to take care of others?

Right now, our service industries are VOLUNTARY. Doctors, nurses, law enforcement professionals, military personnel, etc. perform services to the public - be it in the area of defense, protection, or health care - because they CHOSE to be in that line of work.

If you nationalize health care and extend it AS A GUARANTEE to everyone, then you WILL be forced to dramatically (not slightly, not moderately, but dramatically) raise taxes, draft people (eventually) into the health care profession, nationalize other related industries, etc., etc., etc.

Are you questioning this?

You say that if health care is a natural right, then all discussion ends. Well, I think this discussion is PERTINENT to determining IF health care is a natural right.
