Edit 2: I should have known better to discuss on the internet lol. I agree I was pretty much just trolling when I posted this. Good game to all of you that called me out. I'll make a real post later.<br><br>Edit: I have to agree that I didn't have any sources for my claims. I also didn't really do a good job with my responses either. I am 14, so it's expected for me to be pretty immature, and I really let that show. Also, I posted this in a trolling mood and it was a pretty trash post overall. I'll make a new post after my trolling mood is gone.<br><br>I mean literally everyone knows that access to healthcare is a basic human right. 17 countries, all first world, have a "right to health"; a right to access unlimited healthcare. The US is literally the only major first world country to not provide unlimited healthcare for everyone.<br><br>Edit: I changed "unlimited" to "access to healthcare" because some people were being picky about the word "unlimited". Unlimited was just kind of a bs term I used to begin with.<br><br>Ok so why doesn't the US provide healthcare for everyone? Well that's because the government is supposed to protect life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Healthcare is literally part of protecting life, and unlimited healthcare is literally the only way to protect life. <br><br>Now I know some of you will say that it's unconstitutional because it's not listed in the constitution. However, the constitution also doesn't list freedom of speech, it lists freedom from being censored. And freedom of speech is literally a human right; we all have freedom of speech, all of us. Plus, is it really illegal to require health insurance, when we require auto insurance to drive? Or is not Healthcare a requirement for humans like cars are for drivers? Like why would we even say that not everyone is entitled to healthcare?<br><br>And what about the other countries that provide it? Well clearly, they believe that healthcare is a basic human right. Healthcare is a basic human right in literally every developed and first world country, only the US doesn't include it as a basic human right. Even Brazil includes healthcare as a basic human right.<br><br>The US allows people to die. If you don't have health insurance, you don't get healthcare. Like what? That's bullshit. It's so USPSA to allow that. Even the Nazis cared more for their people than we do.<br><br>Edit: I don't ever want to post on Chambers again. Thanks to everyone who vowed to let me die or who said that it was my fault that I got a disease like cancer. I was just talking about what I heard from teachers and doctors. Like wtf is up with people. The people who commented not all people are entitled to healthcare literally said I should die if I don't have health insurance. I don't even have health insurance.
