Health care is a right and thus a service that should be provided by a government

In promoting the general welfare the framers of the Constitution did not intend to create positive rights. The did intend to promote the general welfare by creating an environment where people are free from interference to pursue happiness. If a positive right to provide any service was intended by the founders it would have been provided by the state from the very beginning of our history. Pro asks questions such as, how do we define healthcare? This is why the marketplace should be left to it. Individuals should have ownership over their own care and people should come together voluntarily to help those in need not by force or compulsion. We either respect individual liberty or we don't. We say that free choice exists or it doesn't. With respect for free markets and individual liberty we can have great choice and innovation as I have demonstrated above. We can have government run systems and they can work, but they inherently violate basic human freedoms. In the end like I said it comes down to if we respect liberty or if we want blanket one size fits all solutions. The choice is ours to make.
