Vice President Joe Biden wrapped up his California visit on Friday by telling doctors that the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, had “ended the debate” about whether health care is a privilege or a right, according to the Orange County Register.
Biden was speaking to the Patient Safety, Science & Technology Summit, congratulating doctors on a rapid reduction in the rate of hospital-borne infections in recent years. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also spoke to the meeting.

For cash customers without insurance it is far cheaper to buy airfare to Thailand or now the Caribbean, pay for your required operation, recuperate a week in a hotel and fly home than it is to go to a hospital in America. When you go to Costa Rica or Thailand you are not paying the salaries of hordes of bureaucrats and for the treatment of myriad free patients.
What about the doctors. There is no right to enslave doctors.
I wonder if Retarded Joe has any proof that healthcare is a “right” or if he just pulled that goofiness out of his @$$.
So how much of someone else’s time are you entitled to? When you say something is a right, then others must protect and deliver that right. So how much of their time belongs to you?
“Wellllllll.... no one HAS to become a doctor or stay a doctor, Joey-pie.

The day is coming when FedGov will pay the medical school bills in exchange for 4 years of indentured servitude once they graduate.
