Deep thought

Boy! You better not believe half the things you say about yourself

Joe Louis to Muhammad Ali

Right to health care

You have the right to do whatever you can to maintain your own health
You have the right to associate with whomever for that endeavor
And to purchase from Whomever
Those associations and purchases have to be mutually consensual

You do not have the right for others to provide anything for you without their consent

Solutions
Increase number of healthcare providers

Consumer inspection,investigation, and reporting

Local, public, democratically funded options as competition to insurance companies

Deep Thought


That the only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others.

John Stuart Mill
On Liberty
