For those that feel health care is a right please tell me what other right (Think in terms of the founders of the country and rights granted by the Creator) requires someone else to do something?

Free speech does not require the government to give me a radio program or an audience. No one is required to listen to my rants or read my blog.

Freedom of Religion does not require the government to provide me with anything to practice my religion.

The right to keep and bear arms does not require someone to produce a gun and place it in my hands.

The right to assemble does not require the government to provide me with people to assemble with or the place to assemble.

The "right" to health care requires someone else to give me their resources for me to partake of this "right". What happens when they refuse? Do we put a gun to their head? What happens when we pass a law that provides for government funded abortion and a doctor refuses to participate in giving you your "rights".

Maybe we should making housing a right and then force contractors to build houses for everyone and if you have to much property we will take it and use it for those that don't have any property to build a house on.

A right is something I can exercises by myself, not something that requires others resources.

Health care is not a right, it is something most of us want, but it is not a right.
