Aside from being completely off topic for the thread, I don't see a reason it shouldn't be discussed openly. There is no need for it to become some offensive taboo topic that noone else need see, when (as I see it) we're just two men stating and defending our views.
I never said that basic affordable healthcare wasn't a right that is self-evident. I said that no company should be expected to provide healthcare. If you cared about your health care that much, why is it so wrong to think that you'd secure your own health care?
Also, I never said that I would never be affected by a brain tumor or the like. I said that I accept the fact that if I get sick enough, I'm going to die. How many of those tumors and chronic illnesses do you think are curable? If it's not curable, why treat it? I don't see a point to prolonging illnesses. Maybe I'm just the pessimist here, but it's my view, I defend it.
