Healthcare falls under both Life and the Pursuit of Happiness. Healthcare that perserves Life is a right. Elective healthcare is happiness... and not the pursuit of it. So.... Heart surgery = Right. Plastic Surgery = Not a Right. Furthermore how it is paid for is an issue. Since Progressive taxation would be a violation of "Liberty". As Liberty should include everyone being treated as equals. |
you gotta be careful with elective healthcare, plastic surgery i can agree with you on though
PT is the only way to pay for it, flat tax would mean the poor pay more than they can afford (if you have state healthcare) or they dont get healthcare, which again is not fair on the poor, so the rich pay to help the poor, which is more than fair imo.
