Billionaire entrepreneur and owner of the Dallas Mavericks Mark Cuban criticized the Congressional Budget Offices 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 CBOs 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.

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.
Whatever Mr Cuban sells, I want a right to that too.
Wealth, not income.
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.
Democrats want European style socialism. The working class pay 50% or more in taxes and live in 2 bedroom flats. No thanks..
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.
How about this, first, Billionaires must first donate 90% of their wealth to fund, this right.
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.”
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.
Your Rights end at my Nose and my Wallet Mr. Cuban.
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.
