What should be subsidized besides health care?

Why? Sounds like discussing if people have a right to plant tomatoes in their backyard.

 

Or don't. And we'll just go with the assumption that no person has the right to demand money from another person.

 

"Subsidized"? Do you mean take from others by force of law?

 

Not really. Because it’s not between you and your tomatoes. We’re talking about people. Does one person have the right to take his neighbors property?

 

Anyone who pays into Medicare gets Medicare, correct?

 

If you say so. Do they only ever get the money they paid in?

 

Do you not know how Medicare works?

 

Let's say I don't. Does a person only get out of it what they paid into it? No more?

 

What more are you expecting?

 

I expect nothing.

So does a person ever get anything more from Medicare than what they paid into it?

 

You mean like a lollipop if you behave at your doctors appointment? Is that the something more you're looking for?

 

No. Does a person ever receive more from Medicare than the amount they contributed to Medicare?

 

More what?

 

Money. They contribute X. They receive Y. Does Y ever exceed X?

 

Still no idea where you're going with this.

 

I'm asking you a simple question. That's where I'm going. Can a Medicare recipient withdraw more money than he has contributed?

 

Do you think Medicare is a bank? My lord...

 

Right. So Medicare is a system by which one person pays for another's health care. But we've already agreed that nobody has any right to have another provide health care.

 

I pay into Medicare and get Medicare benefits. Simple.

 

Right.

And as we have agreed, nobody has the right to force another person to provide them health care.

 

I'm providing healthcare for myself

 

Cool.

But we are agreed that nobody has the right to force another person to provide them health care.

 

Who's forcing another person to provide then health care?

 

Good question.

Bu we are agreed that nobody has the right to force another person to provide them health care. So if someone were forcing another person to provide healthcare, they would be in the wrong.

 

So no one is? Cool.
