Ron Paul on the fallacy of a “right” to healthcare (another reason I hate socialized medicine)

“You have a right to your life, you have a right to your liberty, and you have a right to the property you earn. But you don’t have a right to a house, or a right to a job, or a right to medical care because that involves a violation of somebody else’s rights. They literally have to take it from you. But you say, ‘no it is from the government.’ The government has nothing, and produces nothing, and for the government to give you healthcare they have to literally take it from somebody else. And ultimately, its a poor person because we usually inflate, we borrow, we create economic conditions that hurt the poor - so even with this attempt to give people this free medical care this is usually what happens today. The poor people who try to make it, they get gouged.”
