"What is the end result of claiming healthcare is a right . . . "

Edited by Author at 3/13/2017 - 10:12 a.m.

and imposing the market upon all people, a market which has as its task master the Federal Government with all its perverse incentives and powers.

- You must buy a product for existing . . . because you will be sick and you must have your pound of flesh extracted to compensate the tax payers.

- Soda cup sizes have to be restricted . . . because soda makes you fat and fatness is a drain on the government mandated and delivered healthcare system . . . so since we can't possibly extract enough flesh from you to pay for all of this . . . we must attempt to lower costs by restricting freedom and choice.

- We will need to make sure that those ladies with BRCA1 are getting the necessary wellness . . . because their coming breast cancer will be a drain on the system . . . and it demands that we lower cost by finding it early . . . so those genetic tests will need to be shared . . . and if you don't you'll pay more . . . like fat people, soda drinkers, smokers, etc . . . because not acting on your known genetic precondition is a willful disregard for the tax payers who are keeping you alive.

"The authority of government, even such as I am willing to submit to — for I will cheerfully obey those who know and can do better than I, and in many things even those who neither know nor can do so well — is still an impure one: to be strictly just, it must have the sanction and consent of the governed. It can have no pure right over my person and property but what I concede to it. The progress from an absolute to a limited monarchy, from a limited monarchy to a democracy, is a progress toward a true respect for the individual. Even the Chinese philosopher was wise enough to regard the individual as the basis of the empire. Is a democracy, such as we know it, the last improvement possible in government? Is it not possible to take a step further towards recognizing and organizing the rights of man? There will never be a really free and enlightened State until the State comes to recognize the individual as a higher and independent power, from which all its own power and authority are derived, and treats him accordingly. I please myself with imagining a State at least which can afford to be just to all men, and to treat the individual with respect as a neighbor; which even would not think it inconsistent with its own repose if a few were to live aloof from it, not meddling with it, nor embraced by it, who fulfilled all the duties of neighbors and fellow-men. A State which bore this kind of fruit, and suffered it to drop off as fast as it ripened, would prepare the way for a still more perfect and glorious State, which also I have imagined, but not yet anywhere seen."
