I didn't buy into it in 1992 when I didn't have any healthcare coverage and could have used it.
No, I got off my ass and took a job that gave me benefits instead of an hourly FTE with no sick days, no vacation days. I didn't want to work in the jobs that I have at that point in time in my life. But the trade off was benefits versus my ego. My ego doesn't pay the bills, nor does it get me better healthcare or better education. My own initiative and drive does. I'm not interested in picking up the slack for someone else.
I bettered my life without government intervention.
I don't find basic health care a fundamental right, I find emergency services a fundamental right, but not basic health care because who defines what basic means?
