[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 2474358, member: 13624"] Negative rights--the right to free speech, or free exercise of religion--literally require no action on the part of another; they only require that he leave me alone. Positive "rights," such as your alleged "right to basic healthcare," do require a third party take positive action to secure. Either you require that the doctor render service without charge, or you require that I, and others like me, pay the doctor's bill. Either way, you impose a duty upon somebody--ultimately to be enforced at the point of a gun--to render service to another. Remind me again, what do we call it when people enforced servitude upon others by force? BTW, if you "don't think the Govt" should be involved, what about those who don't work? The retired, the unemployed? If they have a "right to basic healthcare" that the employer should meet, and there's no employer, then who? Also, do you know how it came to be that employers started providing medical insurance in the first place? Government intervention in employment contracts. That didn't become "kinda how it used to work" until about WWII. Just a bit of fact; sorry to intrude upon your argument. [/QUOTE]
