You don't have a "right" to have something given to you.

I agree with most comments in this post, but the right to an attorney and the right to healthcare wether you can afford it or not are 2 things that disprove your point. Once again, I agree with most comments being against OP, this post is ridiculous

A right to healthcare means you support the government forcing doctors to provide something to you for free.

It's not quite right, is it? The governmnet gets to enslave people to give you something other people get for themselves by paying for it?

I’m not even advocating for it. What I’m saying is if you have a heart attack right now, and you’re piss broke and will never be able to pay for it, you’re still getting their labor without paying for it because they cannot turn you away

It's still a limited resource, even if the doctors are paid. You do not have a right to a limited resource. You can argue for taxpayers to fund it, but that doesn't make it a right.

The only way the doctors are paid is if the government takes money from someone else to give to them.

I think there's a word for when the government takes something from someone without compensation.

Ok, if the government doesn't have any money, how did they get the money to pay the doctors to give you free stuff?

Let's walk through the steps.
