"Privilege" is his aristocratic view. But it isn't a right. Right to life = freedom from harm. Healthcare is a service and a societal choice

It’s a right if we say it’s a right. I say it’s a right. If enough people agree, it becomes a right. (We decide what’s a right or not.)

Not if someone else has to provide it to you. Your right to free speech, assembly, privacy et al don't compel anyone else to anything.
-
Claim your free speech, boom, it’s there, anyone else can only impede it. Healthcare requires other people's effort & resources.
-
Better to focus on choice. As in USA: you can have permanent global war machine or you can have healthcare and education for every citizen.
-
Maybe intention is the same, but declaring someone else’s effort as your right is the difference between a free society and something else.

Had a similar convo but less hostile with a libertarian friend. He didn't call hc a privilege tho, he called it a service.
