There is no crime in wanting better as a society. Healthcare for all is not asking for a nuclear warhead, folks don't wake up and say - I want to be chronically ill and poor. Besides keeping folks healthy is cheaper than trying to keep up with the chronic illnesses in crisis........... you will never convince me otherwise cause even the money sucking insurance companies know that. It's call preventative medicine - your insurance companies encourage it.
All I asked was is it a right? No one said anything about wanting a better society....People have the right to be responsible for themselves. Who's responsibility is it for healthcare? Is it the individual or is it the gov't..(which is other people's money)??
