Why isn't food socialized then?

Food is much more important then healthcare for living.

 

The key factor is the nature of healthcare compared to food.  Healthcare is an "emergency" service like police protection, fire protection, natural disaster protection, national defense protection, etc.

 

In the US, healthcare as an emergency service is already given to you by law. The only thing up for discussion, is should you have to pay for it.

If you are homeless and have a gunshot wound, every Hospital in the US is required to treat you. There is no debtors prison in the US. All not paying your bill will do is put you in a situation where no one will loan you money.

Is being loaned money now a right that needs to be protected?
