...Except for ones the government deems don't deserve it.
I saw a “Single Payer Healthcare Now” bumper sticker on the floor of the Powell Street BART station in San Francisco. I haven’t seen any such stickers anywhere else.
I still shop at Whole Foods.
“We think the other side is being too loud so we’re going to be really loud and make total jackasses of ourselves to prove that we’re bigger putzes than everyone else put together.” I love the way liberals behave. It would be amusing if there weren’t so much at stake.
Now whether someone can afford or are willing to pay for the service might be different.
I have the right to keep and bear arms.
Whether I chose or can afford to excercise that right is up to me.
Likewise, people have the right to healthcare.
Whether they chose or can afford to excercise that right is up to them.
The libtards have every right to donate to a pool to provide health care to whoever wants it.
Went there yesterday as Kroger’s produce was pathetic
Why just him? Surely there were worse singers....
NO-not in front of the refrigerated guac and salsa. Oh, the humanity!
They believe every human being has a right to healthcare?
But they don’t believe every human being has a right to shop where they choose?
Typical leftists.
“We believe that every human being has a right to health care”
And the Government has the right to force someone to give it?
Ironic that the Democrats once again represent the slave owners.
They ain't exactly overjoyed with Cypress Hill or Iron Maiden either... :^)
In fact, liberals hate not having any music playing even more.
Think about that one. So many places we go, there is music, television or some kind of background noise. This is because people are terrified of being alone with their own thoughts.
Try this experiment. When in a restaurant, store or other place where you are the paying customer, ask that the music be turned off... People will look at you like they just had a shiite in their drawers...
To believe that, is to believe that every human being has the right to enslave others for his benefit.
Your basic point is good but it’s not correct to say there’s a right to healthcare. Healthcare involves two people (you and your doctor) whereas keeping & bearing arms involves only one person (you). If you can’t find someone willing to provide you the service of healthcare, then you are out of luck. Thus you have no right to healthcare. What you do have is the right to pursue healthcare (so to speak) and the right to enter into an agreement with someone willing to provide that service to you. That’s a nitpicky distinction but it’s important to hold the line. If you cede even an inch to the left on this one, they’ll take a mile.
So some ACORN-like group hires 10 people to sing a song and dance and that's a threat? Everyone knows liberals do "rent-a-crowd" and "rent-a-goon" stuff. No one thinks they represent the people... no one... (well except the MSM-but only because they're fools)
There is a Whole Foods not too far from us that we had never visited until this boycott started.
DW and I have made a decision to make this our routine grocery store. Some of the prices are actually the best in town, and the others are decent. Overall we might end up spending a couple of bucks a week more, but the political statement is worth it.
I like the “right to bear arms” analogy. I have a right to access arms. But that doesn’t mean taxes should be used to buy me a gun and keep me supplied with ammo. No one should be denied access to health insurance or medical care. That’s why I agree it is wrong for insurance companies to drop people when they get major illnesses. But it is also wrong to use taxes to buy everyone health care.
