As defined by the social contract, it could be argued as a right. I think it's neither. It's simply in the best interest of the country to provide proper medical care to its citizens because a healthy populace is better than the alternative.

Shouldn't be for profit, but doctors, nurses and so forth should be paid well for the important skills they have.

Basic human right, no. Nice thing to have in a civilised modern society, yes.

America has some forms of socialised medicine already, there are systems of "socialism laundering" all over the U.S. healthcare system with the state paying massive chunks of the bill through taxation at the back door out of sight. It's ludicrously expensive mind you with the American state paying more for healthcare per capita than the UK does on the NHS, with citizens paying out the same amount again on top of that for private provision.

You already spend more on healthcare at a state level than most developed countries do to get universal coverage, you should already have universal healthcare, you fucking pay enough for it.

American healthcare spending is three times that of other developed nations BECAUSE it is a privatised system. Universal healthcare systems are more cost effective because there are limited resources and pressure to get the most bang for your buck. Private healthcare institutions bleed Americans for everything they have because payment is guaranteed by Private Insurance. Its an expensive and cost-inefficient system, with no tangible population health benefit.

There is no such thing as the wrong side of history. That's just some feel-good nonsense that people tell themselves when they're pushing an agenda. Human behavior changes culture and culture changes human behavior. All the things you support today have the potential to be completely dismissed in the future.

No there def is a right side of history especially since history is fairly perspective heavy

Now there isn't a way to know what is the right side.

Absolutely, and if we move into a future where healthcare isn't a human right, and people die on account of not having enough money, then we're moving into the wrong future.

Oh ok, so what about preventative care? Or letting the free market handle things like dialysis, where they essentially trick people into not trying to get kidney transplants, effectively increasing the risk of death by a lot? I mean people do die because they can't afford treatments. Or because there's an economic incentive to keep them on sub-optimal treatments.

I pointed out that the right to bare arms is a right. (It is)

You said other people should pay for your health care cause its a right...so i asked if you feel that way about health care then the same must apply to an actual right

Fact is, pre-Obamacare, my health insurance premium for me, my pregnant wife, and six-year-old son, was under $200 a mo th, and we almost never paid anything outside our $25 copay. You libs fucked that all up, and because of it, I'm divorced.

If you go looking for dissent you will find it regardless of opinion. No point in being a negative nancy about it.

Taxing people would go into Medicare, Medicaid, S/CHIP, and others would it not? Those are not going anywhere as they have special rules attached to them that wouldn't apply to a social plan you would pay for.
