If you thought I was a curmudgeon…

StumblingOnTruth presents a TRULY blistering attack on the many common myths that have led to our present healthcare crisis. My favorite paragraph:

In fact, although it’s not the primitive issue, the constant improvement in health care gives another good example of why the “right” to health care makes little sense.Did you have a right to chemotherapy in 1600 AD? You could have protested to Parliament all you wanted, but chemo just didn’t exist.Then, did you have a right to it the moment some genius invented it?You did not pay for the research.You did not make the breakthrough.Where do you get the right?How did it come into existence for you the moment somebody else created these things?I’m pretty sure you cannot have rights to material goods that don’t exist, and I am pretty certain that the moment some genius (or business, or even government) brings them into the world your “rights” do not improve.But strangely, many disagree.
