In defense of the divinity of property: "One earns the Right to Live, so there is no Right to HC."
The absurdity of Rand-ian-Cult, utopian, worship of the so-called Free market (on Thom Hartmann yesterday a.m.).

:puke: freedom = property :puke:

2. HC is a right in other democracies
Essentially, the tea-baggers are arguing that we should have fewer rights than citizens of other countries.

Our privatized health insurance restricts our economic freedom. I becomes difficult to change jobs, start our own business, move to another state, question our employer's ethics/legal behavior because we FEAR losing the increasingly crappy health insurance that is available only through our jobs. Workers in countries that do not tie health insurance to employment do not have to deal with having their families health held hostage.
