In reply to the discussion: How Obama and the Democrats failed to defend the universal right to healthcare [View all]ProSense
(116,464 posts)"You mean law I'm not discussing policy, I'm not discussing policy, I'm discussing the law called the ACA. Within that law is nothing that establishes or outlines a universal right to health care. Right now, in the US, a universal right to health care is not recognized by any court or government agency and laws specifically recognize such a right. There is an established obligation to have health insurance, for which some people are specifically exempt."
...law, and proof the comment makes no sense. Up to now you kept pointing to specific parts of the "law," which have nothing to do with establishing health care as a right.
The above comment adds to the nonsense, as the law includes mandates, bans of practices, corporate penalties, taxes on high income earners, and more that you completely chose to ignore.
None of that is relevant to "that principle now is here to stay." FDR's Second Bill of Rights wasn't a law either. It was a set of established principles.
