"Health care is much the same. How one can argue that it is a right to carry a gun (one which I'm totally OK with by the way), and a right to say what you want (with certain minor limitations of course), but not a right to receive the health care necessary to stay alive and well and do such things, I will never understand. "
Your right to carry a gun or say what you want doesn't cost anyone else anything. Your "right" to healthcare for which you cannot pay costs the rest of us in taxes or high insurance premiums. Why won't you deal with this idea? Do you really believe that someone who can't afford certain medical treatment has the right to demand that you or I pay for it?
I want to be compassionate, but I resist having government force me to pay for that for which I am not responsible.
