The issue is whether someone has the "right" to rob other people at gunpoint to -pay for- that healthcare.

My answer is no. I don't care what someone does with my stolen time/money, simply that they have stolen it. Robbery is wrong, period. Blackmail is wrong, period. Extortion is wrong, period.

I see no room for discussion here.
No room for discussion? Fair enough. We'll discuss is amongst ourselves then.

But I think most of us already knew that anarchy does not recognize, or has no concern for, the concept of rights.
