Health care is not a right !

A right is something you can exercise without depriving someone else of something. Free speech is a right, others may not like what you say but they are not deprived of anything. Freedom of a assembly as long as you don’t trespass. (If you trespass you are depriving someone of the use of their property!) Bear arms is a right as long as you don’t threaten. Read the Bill of Rights its a good and pretty exhaustive list!

If Health Care was a right I could demand it with no compensation to the provider. By proclaiming it to be a right your are demanding the right to put your hand in someone else’s’ pocket. It doesn’t mater if you have a good reason.

Another instance where Rush is Right.

He has pointed out that dimwitted former Liberal Democrat Pennsylvania Senator Harris Wofford said on the Senate floor during the Hillarycare debacle that “If the Constitution says that you’re entitled to a lawyer, shouldn’t you also be entitled to a doctor?”

As vapid and nonsensical as that is, it stuck with the American Public. And thus the “right” to health care was born.
