Tell me why police and fire protection is a right, why are roads a right? Why is public schooling a right? Because when you protect the basic needs of a society all members benefit.
Say a sick individual comes into your community. Say he has no health care so didn't go to the doctor and get medicine for his flu. Say he runs around town and spreads his sickness around at the convenience store, the movie theater, the bowling alley, the bank, etc. Now, he's potentially gotten hundreds of people sick because he can't afford to get doctored.
OR say a parent of three kids gets sick or injured. S/He was a working, contributing member of society, but didn't have health care or was dropped when the trouble started. Now, s/hes crippled for life or dead. We as a society are now paying the bills for the kids.
OR, to bring it back to this conversation. An uninsured, contributing member of society gets sick or injured and cannot pay their bills. The hospital or nursing home takes their home and all their worldly goods and we end up supporting them the rest of their lives. Their kid, who was trying to take over the farm, gets it yanked out from under him to be sold to pay off the debt and a huge, corporate farmer who'll never do as good a job as the kid takes over the ground.
Health care should be the same a schools, police and fire, roads, etc.
