    I hope your charity does well. You seem to be well meaning. And you oppose the use of coercion to achieve your ends, obviously.

    I am not opposing anything.
    Health care is a public issue, there is no way around it.

    well, if those things are available on the open market it is not a public issue.
    Snce health care neither available on the open market nor accessible by everyone the issue is definitely not private.

    Then we should make health care be available on the open market. Problem solved.

    Natural rights are unalienable. By definition, they cannot be contracted away or "delegated."

    The American people traded their liberty away a long time ago. We have not been a free country since 1913.

    The problem with that though, is that rights must be preserved from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
    As a people, we no longer have the courage nor the means to defend and perserve those rights. Rights are not given, they are earned.

    That is what people do everyday. The problem is that people are in two opposite trenches fighting each other over the access to health care. The power that be is very happy, it can take our rights away one by one.

    The issue is simple, you should get whatever you can pay for. If you are looking for charity, go away.

    You can pay if it is available on the market, if market does not exist you can pay only with your life, and that is stupid.

    Anything for which there is a need is on the market.
