  1. Health Care is Not a Right

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No, I'm saying people should get service, they just should also be billed for it. I've already stated there are exceptions within the OP. Technically for me to be a hypocrite, I'd have to not pay into...

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Thank you for the information, I will research more on what you're saying before I comment

  3. Health Care is Not a Right

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    My point was that there is always exceptions. I just don't think it should be the rule is all. Yes, it is a right established by Canadian law. I've stated many times it's a positive right, it's just...

  4. Health Care is Not a Right

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    My understanding is that's incorrect: http://www.xconomy.com/seattle/2014/09/02/which-countries-excel-in-creating-new-drugs-its-complicated/ I could very well be wrong, but this article sheds some...

  5. Health Care is Not a Right

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    What is with this forum... if you read the entire thread, you'll notice I've said several times I get benefits. Where is the world did I say that I don't? If you're Canadian, you do. I've also said, I...

  6. Health Care is Not a Right

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That was clearly sarcasm. However, it seems if you hold an unpopular view, everyone thinks you're trolling on here. Of course I'm thankful to be born in Canada, doesn't mean I don't disagree with...

  7. Health Care is Not a Right

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    So your argument is essentially: 1) All nurses are socialists. 2) You're not a socialist. 3) Therefore, why are you interested in nursing? I don't lack empathy, I realize life can be super crappy, I...

  8. Health Care is Not a Right

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I actually really like your response!! I'm not able to respond in full at the moment, but looking at the nature of rights as a whole and there existence, is an interesting take. I obviously wouldn't...

  9. Health Care is Not a Right

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Correct, I am making a truth claim, and I thought my argument was clear. It's as follows: 1) Fundamental human rights are not dependent on the actions of others. 2) Health care is dependent on the...

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Fallacious argument, argumentum ad populum. If you do have evidence health care is a right, please provide.

  11. Health Care is Not a Right

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    When did I say I don't receive benefits? When did I say I don't pay into the Canadian system? You're hilarious, your whole argument is that if someone is Canadian, they can't critique the system...

  12. Health Care is Not a Right

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yes you have a right to maintain your own life. Yes, you have a right to educate yourself. No, you do not have a right to my money. In order for something to be a fundamental right, it cannot be...

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I start school in the morning, so have to hit the sack. Good talking to everyone! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!! We may not all agree, but I love dialoguing anyways.

  14. Health Care is Not a Right

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You're right, I couldn't stomach turning someone away either, that's why billing after services rendered in necessary. Obviously some don't pay their bills, which sucks. As I understand it though, the...

  15. Health Care is Not a Right

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well in Ontario they are paying for kids to have their ears pinned back. They also paid for my wifes aunt to have not 1, but 2 gastric bypasses after she refused to change her eating habits. Then...

  16. Health Care is Not a Right

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I feel the same way. As I understand it though, someone here would know more (maybe you?), but isn't the current US health care system highly regulated? I mean, you can't call up a company to get a...

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I can't tell if you're being sarcastic... but how would you feel about a true free market health care

  18. Health Care is Not a Right

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I understand what you're saying, and of course I wouldn't wish medical problems on anyone! I truly feel socialized health care is wrong though... so I suppose it's a complicated issue. Maybe a true...

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    May I ask, do you find the pay to be better though? The taxation has to be less. In Canada, you can be taxed in Ontario almost

  21. Health Care is Not a Right

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think we both know the answer though, he can't opt out because others are dependant on using his money to pay for their services. Anyways, thanks for sharing your thoughts

    Why? To be a nurse, is it a requirement to be a

  23. Health Care is Not a Right

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I have no problem with that, because I benefit from those things, schools, roads, etc. What do I benefit from Jane getting a hit replacement? I stated earlier, I have a friend who is wealthy enough to...

  24. Health Care is Not a Right

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Respectfully, this is actually incorrect. If one makes a truth claim, one has the burden of proof. Stating "universal health care is a right" is a truth claim. You're correct that someone may choose...

  25. Health Care is Not a Right

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I view taxation as theft when it's for services one does not desire to have, nor benefit from. What someone pays in taxes, one needs in services. I get what you're saying, and guess I just disagree is...
