Mark Cuban: Amend U.S. Constitution to Make Healthcare a Right
PJ Media ^ | March 19, 2017 | Nicholas Ballasy

Billionaire entrepreneur and owner of the Dallas Mavericks Mark Cuban criticized the Congressional Budget Office’s use of a 10-year score to determine the effects of the Republicans' American Health Care Act and said the U.S. Constitution should be amended to make healthcare a right.

Cuban compared the CBO’s use of a decade timeframe to the ABC television show Shark Tank, where he stars as one of the investors that hears pitches from business owners. He said one- to four-year timeframes are better but “marginally predictable.”

Why don't we just amend the Constitution to take away Mark's money?

What a fool he is - nobody has a "right" to something which must be generated and provided by others. If our economy were to fail would doctors and nurses have to work without compensation so that the rest of us could have "healthcare"?

Sounds like a form of slavery to me.

Mark Cuban should run for President of Venezuela ... one insane fit there... Rather than just jailing bakers for a lack of bread - Cuban could be arresting Doctors for a lack of healthcare... Elites are so braindead when it comes to what the people need. Cuban doesn't 'get' it... he should STFU about what the 'people' need and stick to what he knows: what silly liberal elites need...

That is completely the point. Once it is a right & the Gv’t is responsible the Gv’t assumes control over what healthcare each citizen is entitled to and they can start their rationing.
No Gv’t control over healthcare!

How does that work? To give “free” health insurance they have to tax the air we breathe.


The only way to protect this new “right to health care” is to forcibly take other peoples property.

Democrats want European style socialism. The working class pay 50% or more in taxes and live in 2 bedroom flats. No thanks..

Liberals have been trying to get the so-called “Equal Rights Amendment” ratified since 1972. In spite of trying to rig passage by extending the stipulated time period for ratification they have been unsuccessful.

You know that its not completely dead, right? Been laying dormant since the 70's, but the Left has a tactical maneuver all planned out to try and bring it back when they feel the time is right.

The problem is what does health care mean. To most liberals it means medically aborting a healthy unborn baby. It also means performing gender reassignment surgery to a healthy person. It means medically killing the elderly as they are a burden on taxpayers.

They want these things to become part of the Constitution so that they can mandate them and use other people's money to pay for these things.

The funny thing is, the government only has one product. It can only “create” one thing: Violence.

Why not a right to food and shelter? Then we can add healthcare. Might as well add that other amendment just make sure everyone pitches in so that these rights are fulfilled. You know that one that states: “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.”

Amend U.S. Constitution to Make Healthcare a Right

That's not easy to do... it would take an act of an Appeals Court, and then ratification by SCOTUS.

This, from the a-hole who co-produced “Redacted,” that anti-military hit piece in 2004 in an effort to turn public opinion against our troops and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Cuban is a leftist POS.

He already has the right to buy insurance, just like everyone else. What he wants (like most libs) is “special rights”, meaning the taxpayers foot the bill.

Doesn’t all of this boil down to people wanting the “right” to smoke cigarettes and eat donuts and be indemnified by government against any consequences? :)

Proof positive Mark Cuban is an idiot. Money does not equal intelligence.

This demonstrates an incredibly poor understanding of America on Mr. Cubans part.

As long as free NBA tickets are also considered a right.
