| You don’t seem to understand what is meant by forced labor here. I am happy to explain it to you. A right is something that can never be legally violated by the government. It is possible for a health care system run by anyone to end up with a level of resources below what it would need to meet its commitments. If government runs health care and health care is a right, then the government is not legally allowed to fail to meet its health care commitments. Doing so would violate the right to health care, and violating rights is illegal. Therefore at that point the government must either compel resources be increased to match the commitment, regardless of any other factors, or cancel the right. If our plan includes the potential for raising resources to an arbitrary level in certain circumstances regardless of all other factors at that point, then at that point we would by definition need to implement forced labor. If our plan includes canceling a right under certain circumstances, then it is not really a right, is it? |
