These folks don’t deserve sympathy when karma comes knocking, they are akin to mass murderers. The media can fuck right off
That’s not an opinion. It literally is a human right.

A better way to communicate this imo is to say Healthcare should under no circumstances be a capitalist market driven (or influenced) commodity. Ever. In any way, shape or form.
Saying it’s a human right (although I agree 100%) gives conservatives a talking point because, “iT cOsTs MoNeY aNd ReSoUrCeS!”
It’s not a market driven commodity. Full stop. Nobody has a desire for cancer treatments or radiation therapy. Nobody has a desire to shop around for competitor pricing when they break their leg.
We need full socialized healthcare. No millionaires, no CEOs, no board of directors, no investors making millions. Just well paid doctors, nurses and support staff, with intelligent people making necessary decisions, not decisions for shareholders or profits.
Literally a human right in every modern country
Except one
Healthcare is only available due to our advanced nature as a society. It shouldn’t be considered a human right, it takes resources, education, and effort to achieve. It isn’t necessary, though as an advanced civilization we should make an effort to keep everyone as healthy as possible; it benefits our society directly.
Safety, Freedom from harm, Freedom of expression, The right to pursue an education, all great human rights.
Insurance, or companies who hedge bets against you - collecting, and then fighting to pay out – that should be HEAVILY regulated like the gambling industry. Sure, the odds are stacked against you - but Insurance companies should be REQUIRED BY LAW to follow doctors recommendations, whichever doctor you choose.
it takes resources, education, and effort to achieve
Yeah. Duh. So fucking what?
Freckly, you entire argument reeks of cowardice.
Oh, and btw - healthcare as a right does not, in fact, prop up private health insurance. Dork. Like, literally the most logical path to healthcare as a right would be a single payer system. Which would abolish the companies gambling on my health.
All the human rights you mentioned require resources and education.
It is a human right
I hope you get Adjusted
Imagine thinking you’re sane or reasonable with this take.
Imagine coming onto an anarchist community and thinking you cooked with this take
haha, an “anarchist” who wants universal human-rights healthcare. That’s a hot take.
