Obamacare Going Down?

So where does health sit in this then?? why does you liberty to oppose healthcare trump your neighbours demand for self same right.

Because healthcare is not a right.

I dont see that you do have the right to oppose someone elses getting healthcare since it would be a common good like Drink Drive laws.

I have no less of a right to oppose it than you have to support it.

Citizens who are needlessly crippled, too ill to work, or dead are a drain on our whole society. And we do wind up paying for them, one way or another. So it's a self-evident common good for us to work out a fair, equitable and cost-conscious way to distribute and pay for the common good.

Couldn't agree more. Now let's do it without making a mockery of the basic American principles of freedom.
