Nice to pervert our Constitution Mr. Cuban. At least he wants to destroy the Constitution through the amendment process. The Constitution is a document about negative rights, freedom from gov't action, not positive rights, right to free stuff. If healthcare is a Constitutional right then if I want a billion dollars for some experimental treatment, perhaps implant my brain in a cyborg, then the taxpayer is forced to cough up the money???

Make it a “right’ for everyone to share Mr. Cuban’s, and Mr. Cuban’s alone, wealth!

Excellent idea Mark. While we’re at it we need to take care of a few other necessities of life:

Universal Healthcare
Universal Foodcare
Universal Watercare
Universal Clothingcare
Universal Housingcare
Universal Childcare
Universal Incomecare
Universal Educationcare
Universal Transportationcare
Universal Entertainmentcare

...

People need to understand the difference between a "right" and an "entitlement".

A right is something that you can DO, which government is not allowed to interfere with. For example, the right to keep and bear arms, the right to speak, the right to worship as you choose.

An entitlement is something that you can compel others to provide to you. A "right" to health care, is in reality an entitlement to demand that others (taxpayers) labor to provide that to you.

Cuban can’t stand Trump being on the stage.Trump I believe truly wants to help America and put our folks to work. Folks like Cuban and the Democrats encourage people not to work by giving stuff away without having to work for it. This is a fallacy.The Democrat way has destroyed families and encouraged America to bring in another class of people to do the work our own people will not do.America no longer has a work ethic. I started to delivering papers about the time I was in the fifth or 6th grade and never being out of a job until I retired. I was taught to always look for a better job but not to quit one until I had another lined up.Our kids today get the best of everything without lifting a finger and now they demand free college. Think about it folks?

Or even better, amend the Constitution to guarantee that everyone is a billionaire, never gets sick, and no one ever gets injured from anything.

And everyone gets a pony. Don’t forget the pony.

If a “right” means a right to have the government give you something for free, where is my free gun? I have a right to a gun, that means I have a right to a free gun.

Billionaire entrepreneur and owner of the Dallas Mavericks Mark Cuban

Perhaps Mr. Cuban would like to become a philanthropist and underwrite this "right"...

It could be called "Cuban-Care"

The problem with leftists like Cuban, is that they don’t understand that the Constitution isn’t supposed to “make rights”, it was designed to ensure the U.S. Government doesn’t remove our “God-given rights”!

Anything the government gives/creates, the government can take away/remove!!

What a maroon!

if Drs arent going to make money then people wont become Drs and no one will be able to see one - unless you can pay huge cash out of pocket.
Cuban is stupid for a rich guy.

It basically already is.

Show up at any emergency room and they have to treat you.

Really? So who pays for it? Oh, the government. So where does the government get the money? Tax the rich is the mantra of liberals.

It’s not a right, and calling a tail a leg doesn’t make it so.

Nothing for which someone else must pay should be considered a ‘right.’
Otherwise, you have re-instituted slavery.
