Should we start giving the people free health care?

It's not a matter of 'free' but how we manage those costs.

Healthcare should be public, yes. It should be a basic human right.

Well here in Denmark healthcare has been pretty much public for a long time...

No. For the main reason that free isn't fucking free.

There shouldn't be an industry to profit off the misery of others. Healthcare should be a basic right.

It is if a government grants it, as it should.

"Should be"...valuable part of that sentence.

Everyone has the right to a free healthcare.

Healthcare should be given to the homeless for free and everyone else should pay. If you can afford a house, you can afford your own healthcare insurance.

And your abhorrent mauling of what is a right and is not, as well as your abhorrent understanding the of the economics involved, doens't interest me.

Yay! Everyone's happy.

I thought one-liner intros were not allowed in General.
Anyway,it really depends on the class the person is in.

How will the homeless ever become "not homeless" and self-sufficient if we give them everything for free?

It's hard to get a job when you are suffering from goiter.

Might as well all go homeless. Now you have people trying to screw over the system and dragging down the country they live in with their idiocy. Healthcare for free is a nice thing. But it needs to be planned out, and that is one thing politicians are notoriously bad at.

So if you have a heart attack, you don't have the right to get immediate treatment?

EMS won't charge you until after the operation.
