> Whenever someone tells me about the "right" to healthcare, I ask, "From whom? From me?" This question exposes this "right" for the robbery and slavery that it is.

> If too many doctors quit, the government might try to make them work.

Well, what a load of rubbish. Numerous free countries do indeed have some sort of right to healthcare in their laws: in practical terms it translates to a promise by the government that it will pay the market rate to ensure that there are adequate doctors working for it.

(One could, of course, make some generalised argument against taxes, but that doesn't seem to be what this is.)
