A Stupid Statements About Single Payer Healthcare

[Rev. Rye]

Ask him how he thinks private health insurance works. If your personal healthcare costs for any given year exceed the amount your insurance company paid to the providers, then you paid for someone else’s healthcare.

Or paying for someone else’s HMO to claim they’re paying for your health care, only for some conveniently-placed loophole to give them an excuse to easily weasel out of paying for it.

What are you saying? It is impossible for the government to commit theft if it legislates that theft?

Pretty much. It may be immoral as all fuck, but, legally speaking, if a government takes something and it sanctions it as legal, it’s not theft.

"All rights are invented there are no natural rights" <<what?!!

This is why I said on my thread "Am I an anarchist?" that atheists are prone to statism and authoritarianism

You believe that human rights are derived from the state

In practice, that’s pretty much it. Note, this does not mean we think human rights should be dispensed with (most of us appreciate them very much), and to assume so is to fall victim to the Naturalistic Fallacy. That said, if an oppressive force is stomping your head into the dust, and the powers that be are okay with it, well, you can say you have rights, but they won’t mean a damn thing. And, as I’ve said numerous times before on this forum: Why, yes, that does suck.

Forcing soldiers to fight for the government is wrong

Which is why the “court-appointed attorney” example others gave is a better example than conscription. After all, it’s been 73 years since we’ve actually fought an enemy with both the will and ability to actually be a threat to us.
