Do you believe health insurance is a right or a privilege? 47%A right. 52.9%A privilege. Vote See results
Poll is on left hand side of page.
I voted and it’s still 52.9? Don’t they know who I am???
That’s a push poll.
Everyone has
A) an entitlement to sex
B) a right to seek it out on their own
I believe vetrinary care should be a right of zoophiles.
It is a privilege. Because if it was a right, government would be able to force a doctor to provide it. But I have an idea: anyone of the blithering idiots who think it should be a right should go to med school to provide that right to others. Without profit, of course.
Cynthia McKinney, is that you?
If it costs 5K to get checked out in the ER because I faint and bump my head, I vote yes, its a right.
If the price were 500 bucks, for the same care, I’d vote no.
The cost structure of medical services in the country is
inflated beyond all reason.
BTTT!
It’s an idiotic poll and the station should be called on it. HC insurance came about due to Government limiting compensation (doesn’t THAT sound familiar?)
Neither ... is merely a business contract.
Do you believe health insurance is a right or a privilege?
47%
A right.
52.9%
A privilege.
Poor question.
Now, here’s mine: Do you believe that a ham sandwich is a right or a privilege?
Health insurance is neither a right nor a privilege. It is a product.
stupid question. health insurance is NEITHER a right nor a privilege.
it’s a product that individuals or employers can buy in the free market if they choose.
Tends to happen when you break the feedback loop between price and demand. And add a ton of overhead trying to replicate it.
Do you believe health insurance is a right or a privilege?
34.9%A right.
65%A privilege.
Good point but it wasn’t an option in the poll.
Health insurance is neither a right nor a privilage. It is a service and a for-profit business enterprise made available to consumers by providers for a fee, subject to free market economics and the laws of supply and demand. Nothing more, nothing less.
Does the government, as a provider, retain the right to use Ted Kennedy's (shudder) image to promote their product? (after all, he didn't complete his contract)
I'm already envisioning Teddy kommercials for health kare.
And some of you thought that the computer gen'd Orville Reddenbacker popcorn commercials were creepy...
Everyone has a right to pursue a job/career etc that may lead to their having health care coverage. I stress the word, “pursue”.
