Address it. What makes healthcare a right more than any of those more important commodities?slippery slope fallacy
I thought they'd have a half-way decent response to my earlier equation of "basic needs" that need providing by government.slippery slope fallacy
I'm not going to catch a run down apartment or shabby clothes if you breath on me, but I'm going to get Corona virus if we don't give you antibioticsTell me what makes healthcare different than any other market commodity that we need.
Food and water, shelter, sanitation, even electricity/gas are more important to overall survival than healthcare- shouldn't these things be "rights" too?
The sarcasm flew right over. My beach front comment was IF we had all "necessities" of life guaranteed as a "right". If housing was a "right", who determines where and what house I get? Most would likely get the tenements, and the well connected would get the beach front mansions, like most 3rd world governments where property "rights" are controlled.Doubt the beach front is populated by guvmint clerks. Way more likely they work for insurance companies and big Pharma, and the people who lend them money.
How can a socialist have 3 homes and complain about the plight of the poor? Shouldn't he give at least one to a person in need?Democratic socialist just isn’t going to sit well with many voters is my guess
Those are negotiated benefits which accrue to their respective employment. They're not entitlements and there's no guarantee that they can't be reduced or eliminated altogether in the future.Don't we already have "socialism" for fire, police, military, road and utility construction/maintenance, education through 12 grade and healthcare for folks over 65?
Bernie wants to add college and healthcare for people under 65.
No you won't.I'm not going to catch a run down apartment or shabby clothes if you breath on me, but I'm going to get Corona virus if we don't give you antibiotics
It's not a fallacy.address your fallacy?
Yes he did. We were just lied to about it.Did Trumby stand a chance in 2016?
That's everyone's argument for single payer.that's not the argument I am making for healthcare
I don't think the way you and surfdog frame it reflects anyone's argument for single payer option
your slippery sloping a straw man
Another idiotic falacy.Then if people pay taxes to get healthcare, other people's money should pay for my car, house, food, water, and everything else.
Because you can die if you can't afford it.Address it. What makes healthcare a right more than any of those more important commodities?
So when you get the homeless plague and your insurance tells you they're not going to pay for your treatment, will you die happy?No you won't.
Antibiotics won't do sh!t against a virus
But that being said, a homeless person with a bad diet is going to be a lot more susceptible to starting a plague than someone with proper shelter, so I think you should pay to make sure they are fed, homed and clothed as well
Like not having a house, food or water?Because you can die if you can't afford it.
