Thank you very much!

I had not bothered to read the article, because I was put off by the title. Your excerpt is much more in tune with the Ludwig I thought I knew. (ie-more along the lines of "Free Men and Free Markets" I get all tingly thinking of Capitalist Pig saying that)I will revisit the website. Thank you again.

One’s rights to things are rights only to things one can obtain in free trade, with the voluntary consent of those who are to provide them. All such rights are predicated upon full respect for the persons and property of others.

There is no right to violate anyone else's rights.

Taking a little breather here to thank you again for sending your excerpt. Although this article was written in 1994, and pertains to specifically to HillaryCare, ObamaCare is no different. Only the dates have changed.

I still say that "Health Care" (more correctly, "Medical Treatment") is simply a service. Calling it a "right" only serves to emotionally charge the issue.
