  1. Health Care is Not a Right

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I wasn't making any claims, it actually was a question... hence the question mark.

  2. Health Care is Not a Right

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I love debate so I'm down. :) Yes I distilled socialism down to theft through taxation. Love for you to prove to me it's not. Also, feel free to attempt to prove health care is a right, it'll be a...

  3. Health Care is Not a Right

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I assume you want access to those services? You'd be correct though, if you have no desire to have access to that service, so be it. That should be your right. Yes, it would be immoral for someone to...

  4. Health Care is Not a Right

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well, if I'm honest that's a complex question. If one chooses to not get insurance, who's problem is that? As for not being able to afford it if there is no coverage, the avg house where I live in...

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I actually go by the pronoun

  6. Health Care is Not a Right

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well, universal health care in Ontario where I am isn't technically speaking "universal"... citizenship is a requirement. Otherwise you'll get billed after service. Correct me if I'm wrong on that...

  7. Health Care is Not a Right

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You truly don't know me... I've considered leaving countless times. You wouldn't be asking that question if you knew the answer though. I love how much flack I get for advocating against socialism...

  8. Health Care is Not a Right

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No problem there, because those involved would be voluntarily contributing. I think that's awesome! Forced insurance would be immoral. I'll give you a good example. I have a close friend who is very...

  9. Health Care is Not a Right

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm aware of the tuition costs. This is why I said earlier, it's hard being a Canadian libertarian. Canadian socialist values go against my nature. However, I always try my best to not take advantage...

  10. Health Care is Not a Right

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't play the (insert super sad story here) game. Nothing makes it right to take other people's money to pay for others medical care. It's immoral. It's not my right to take your money to pay for...

  11. Health Care is Not a Right

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No, there are always exceptions. I'm just arguing it's not the

  12. Health Care is Not a Right

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Paying for my tuition I most certainly have no problem doing. No idea where you thought I suggested otherwise... Ummm, no I'm not a Freeman on the land. lol I'm a libertarian. Yes I plan on being an...

  13. Health Care is Not a Right

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Excellent question, you either have health insurance that would cover the medical bills, or receive treatment that you would need to pay back at a later

  14. Health Care is Not a Right

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It's what is known as a "positive right" and it's something I'm vehemently

  15. Health Care is Not a Right

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    So we're playing a game of who is the best of the

  16. Health Care is Not a Right

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Not sure what you're getting at. I've already agreed that if one pays into a system, they should have access to that system. That makes it a contractual right though, not a human right was my

  17. Health Care is Not a Right

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Dang it, good catch! Wish I caught that typo. I certainly don't know everything, this is just my current position after some thought. Thank you for the good luck wishes, and I certainly hope to...

  18. Health Care is Not a Right

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You bring up some interesting points. It's been very difficult for me being a Canadian libertarian... I grew up here, not much I can do but hope for change. I plan on taking my degree and leaving for...

  19. Confused over PHCNP process in Canada

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Canada

    It's very much what I'm interested in! The problem, while I know I'm academically competitive... obtaining a GPA of 3.8 (the avg GPA of UofT's med school applicants if I recall) could be very hard....

  20. Confused over PHCNP process in Canada

    Tetra posted a topic in Canada

    Okay, so I've been accepted into BScN at McMaster. My end goal has always been to become a nurse practitioner... While I know it's something in the future I need to worry about and not right now, I...

  21. Confused over PHCNP process in Canada

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Canada

    Are you suggesting the way the system is set up, whereby someone can theoretically achieve a PHCNP in 3 years after their BScN is not "safe" for patients? If that's the case, I'd recommend that you...

  22. Confused over PHCNP process in Canada

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Canada

    No idea how I come across, but I can tell you I'm extremely competitive. That may or may not read a particular way to you. So far I've only mentioned one primary goal in this thread, to find the most...

  23. Confused over PHCNP process in Canada

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Canada

    So you'd agree that would in fact be the shortest route? As per my OP, I'd be curious if you can think of a shorter

  24. Confused over PHCNP process in Canada

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Canada

    I think by working while doing your Masters would add to that experience, and shave some time off, do you not agree? The main thing to me, would be completing the schooling in the shortest amount of...

  25. Confused over PHCNP process in Canada

    Tetra replied to Tetra's topic in Canada

    I'd never suggest you were "just a nurse" btw. It's an amazing career. Glad to hear you have done so well for yourself. I desire the same thing. :) Autonomy is right! You can make good money as an RN...
