    As folks from the UK to Cuba to Gaza have discovered, if you’re denied the resources to provide the health care you have a right to, it isn’t worth much.

    Fun fact: two of those three have far better outcomes than the US for profit system and the last one likely would if not for the US government supplying the bombs and political cover to destroy it.

    Basically all you’ve managed to prove is that you’re ignorant about the quality and availability of health care in other countries and will compare for profit healthcare to genocide and ethnic cleansing in order to make it look good.

      They’re right about the God given rights thing though. People really heard God given and thought that meant nobody could take them away.

        That’s why I never used that silly phrase. Rights aren’t given to you by a magical sky daddy. They’re given by and enforced by mutual agreement between people who won’t put up with their friends and neighbors being treated unfairly.
