RCP: Bernie Sanders is convinced that promising Americans guaranteed health care is the modern equivalent of “a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage,” but he is not alone. In some form or another, health care consistently tops every poll that gauges what makes Democrats tick.
So now that the race has narrowed to “Biden vs. Bernie,” it is time to ask what we the American people will be getting if the No. 1 issue on the Democrats’ agenda is actually implemented.
First of all, we should recognize that there is no realistic difference between any two Democrats on this topic, though some pretend they don’t want to bankrupt the economy by fully funding guaranteed health care for all. In fact, they all agree with Sanders that “health care is a right,” and that means they will ultimately try to buy health care for everyone, no matter how expensive it is. more
No, bearing arms is a ‘right’. Speaking freely is a ‘right’.
Universal healthcare is an utopian pipe dream.
For instance, where are any incentives to keep yourself healthy and avoid getting sick?

Real case from Snohomish County, WA, where I live.
“Just the flu, bro” could kill you if you don’t pay attention to symptoms.
I’m not a real doctor but I play one on the internet and I am not about to work long hours for very little pay at the dictates of government bureaucrats! So take your viruses, aches, pains, colds, flu’s, complaints, injuries, depressions, hypocondriactics, and hangovers and shove them where the sun don’t shine!
“The government is my mommy.”
– Worthless Assholes Who Should Be Killed
I’m sure someone who’s spent 8 years of their life and millions of dollars will be really excited to make $15 a hour as a doctor. Because that’s exactly whats going to happen if one of these dopes ever get something like this passed.
Health “care?” From Der Kommissar ObamassarKare $15-an-hour subcontractors?! 🤨
PASS.
I’ll take my chances with the virus. 🙄
No natural right exists that comprises the forced labor of others. In that frame, healthcare cannot be a right as doctors/nurses would be compelled to work/ give treatment, against their will, if it were in fact a right. Therefore it cannot be a right.
“The “right to health care” is nothing more than the robber’s “right” to take whatever he wants and leave you whatever he doesn’t “need.”
Whichever Democrat prevails in the nomination … , it will be up to President Trump to push back against the temptation of free health care and to remind Americans that our strength as a nation is our precious individual rights, not the cheap slogans of communism. Let the battle begin.”
great way to wrap up the argument
From “Atlas Shrugged”.
“I quit when medicine was placed under State control some years ago,” said Dr. Hendricks. “Do you know what it takes to perform a brain operation? Do you know the kind of skill it demands, and the years of passionate, merciless, excruciating devotion that go to acquire that skill? That was what I could not place at the disposal of men whose sole qualification to rule me was their capacity to spout the fraudulent generalities that got them elected to the privilege of enforcing their wishes at the point of a gun. I would not let them dictate the purpose for which my years of study had been spent, or the conditions of my work, or my choice of patients, or the amount of my reward. I observed that in all the discussions that preceded the enslavement of medicine, men discussed everything — except the desires of the doctors. Men considered only the ‘welfare’ of the patients, with no thought for those who were to provide it. That a doctor should have any right, desire or choice in the matter, was regarded as irrelevant selfishness; his is not to choose, they said, but ‘to serve.’ That a man’s willing to work under compulsion is too dangerous a brute to entrust with a job in the stockyards — never occurred to those who proposed to help the sick by making life impossible for the healthy. I have often wondered at the smugness at which people assert their right to enslave me, to control my work, to force my will, to violate my conscience, to stifle my mind — yet what is it they expect to depend on, when they lie on an operating table under my hands? Their moral code has taught them to believe that it is safe to rely on the virtue of their victims. Well, that is the virtue I have withdrawn. Let them discover the kind of doctors that their system will now produce. Let them discover, in their operating rooms and hospital wards, that it is not safe to place their lives in the hands of a man whose life they have throttled. It is not safe, if he is the sort of man who resents it — and still less safe, if he is the sort who doesn’t.”
Medicine in the hands of bureaucrats?
Lazy, selfish, drunk (or doped), incompetent doctors who can’t be fired?
Affirmative Action with a scalpel?
Sounds like a plan!

NB: most real doctors gave up practicing over the last decade.
But, fer sure, there’s a ‘wellness clinic’ in a strip center near you.
