The "right" to health care

Relating the “right” to health care to forced labor and slavery:

If the medical service was replaced with physical labor, the scenario is still familiar. “Will you build that deck for me?” “Will I hire you to build my deck?” “OK?” “OK.” Everything looks fine… except for number 4. “I don’t care what you say, you are building my deck whether you agree to my proposal or not.” That looks strikingly like forced labor – which is a euphemism for slavery.

If you apply the statement made in #4 above to most any situation, the result is negative. In labor, it is slavery. In payment, it is robbery. In sex, it is rape. The entire premise is based on the idea that no one has the right to demand something from someone else when they are not in agreement with the terms of that exchange. Put another way, no one has the right to something someone else has.

Indeed.
