First time posting in this forum but you got me curious over this. How is healthcare a human right? Healthcare cost money and if the government is paying for it, that means they're taking it from forcefully from the people. So how can something be a right if it requires theft?
BTW: I'm an intensely philosophically oriented person, I know my own beliefs and why I believe them but I really never understood why the collectivist believes in the things they do, only that they do.
