Healthcare shouldn't be a commodity. People die because they can't afford healthcare. People's lives depend on their access to healthcare. It's sick.

What's the oath of office? I feel like I am supposed to sworn in. I remember that I wasn't sworn in as Chancellor of State when I served.

Oaths are optional - have been since the end of the first republic. Besides, tradition has it that they're for legislators and Cabinet members, and you're more of a sub-Cabinet member.

People do have a right to life, but since illness and death are inevitable, do you really have a right to avoid them?

If healthcare is included, then what does that mean for someone who has the skills to care, but refuses to treat someone? Let's take the case of a village in Northern Quebec, where many times there is only one with the skills of a doctor. If that doctor refuses to treat someone without pay, then it would be a violation of the sick's right to life. How would reconcile this? Force the doctor to treat the sick?

Dude, everything is a commodity, so to speak. Food, clothes, and housing are all consumer goods - should they be universally provided, too? You have no moral right to healthcare because you have no moral right to compel anyone else to serve you. Healthcare is a need, sure, but not a right. A “right” is a moral principle defining and sanctioning a man’s freedom of action in a social context. The right to life means one has the moral right to their own life (as opposed to the king or state having a moral claim on someone’s life). If you have the right of self-ownership, then nobody can compel you to do anything. See what I'm getting at? Read this - http://memepoliceman.com/is-healthcare-a-right/

Healthcare is an important good, yes, but still a good like any other.

I noticed that the right to life and weather or not healthcare is included in that, is being discussed. this is my opinion the right to life falls under the category of negative rights. meaning we only keep other people from interfering with it. for example we put murderers in prison because they interfere with other peoples right to life. on the other hand healthcare is not part of it because it isn't any persons fault you got sick and therefor no one is interfering.

it is very important to note the difference because it can lead to big problems. for example, what if someone claimed that owning an Xbox was part of their pursuit of happiness. obviously that's a problem because they could claim that about anything. what they wont understand is that we don't make sure you can pursue happiness. we only make sure people don't stop you from pursuing happiness (steel, hurt, kill....etc).

if you want know more just google positive and negative rights.

Gaelic Eire Nua wrote:Healthcare shouldn't be a commodity. People die because they can't afford healthcare. People's lives depend on their access to healthcare. It's sick.

The reality is hat healthcare is a commodity (a product or service provided by another in recompense). No one has a right to coerce or defraud from another person their goods or services. It does not matter how supposedly noble the intent. To invoke compassion as the reason to do so is disingenuous. It is more compassionate to rely on Medicine as an independent charitable profession that allows the marketplace to instantly adjust to the needs of the individual in the community--where no one is turned away and the county taxpayers and charities (Shriners, Lutheran Social Services, Catholic Charities, County Indigent Boards) pay the difference.

This is a power grab for statists. It removes the historic players in Medicine from the table. It relegates it all to absolute control under the state (despotism and tyranny).

It turns physicians from an historic relatively free, self-regulating, self-governing, order of self-employed charitable professionals outside of state control to indentured servants at the beckon call of the state. The history of medicine is counterfactual to the Marxist narrative. The success of relatively free and open markets in providing basic affordable healthcare is unrepresented in the history of the world. It must be stopped at all costs as its very existence is a rebuttal to socialism.

Hospitals, hospice care, medical treatments and the people who devote their lives to "do no harm and turn no one away" fall under the auspices of religious Liberty and individualism. Indeed before there was a Modern Western Civilization, the synagogues and churches (in the west) and religions (in the east) were providing hospice and hospital care to all regardless of creed or ability to pay in spite of the cruelty of the despots and rulers who tried to eradicate their services because of their faiths. Charity is done best by the community. Charity done by the state is and always has been an abysmal failure. To relegate healthcare to the whims of the state is cruelty not compassion.

Jadentopian Order wrote:Not at the VA hospitals, sadly.

That's because the VA is government rationed healthcare.

By the way, your compassion is laudable. No one in their right mind should ever be so heartless as to wish ill (in the literal sense) upon others. I am glad you care enough to speak your mind and see that justice is done.

Pulceria's post of negative and positive liberty is very similar but much more eloquent than what my response was.

absolutely necessary to what?

Pulceria wrote:absolutely necessary to what?

To live. If someone's dying, and it can be stopped by healthcare, they should have the right to it. If I just have a cold and I want medicine, I should have to pay for it.

At first, the ACA was supposed to be a meme party, but now, we're very close to winning a senate seat. Thank you to all who are currently voting for us, and to those who aren't, I can promise that we will make sure that this region succeeds in every way possible. As stated in our description, we will not let ideological differences get in our way of our law-making and problem solving.

Of course it is completely optional, but at this point, it makes sense for constituents to start moving their votes to some of the larger contenders.

Why no endorsement for the Communist Party? I can do great things. If i can get a dead server filled with 40 players for a whole week, then I can help run a region as a elected official.

I do read this rmb occasionally.

I saw there was a short discussion on healthcare, although I seemed to have missed it.

One of the most efficient healthcare system in the world is Singapore's, it has a mixture of the public sector and the private sector, it spends shockingly little on its healthcare yet receives great results.

Congratulations to our newest Senator, VenomRingo! And now, I am extremely proud to release what Senator Humpheria and I believe to be a very important step forward for our region.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Joint Statement

Reaganist Libertarian Party Central Office

Alt-Centrist Alliance Offices

The Alt-Centrist Alliance is proud to announce the formation of the Free Libertatem Coalition in cooperation with the Reaganist Libertarian Party. Libertatem is at a crossroads. Will we work tirelessly, together, to see Libertatem rise to the glory that it once possessed? We must come together to ensure the best success for Libertatem is achieved. It is in our grasp, but we cannot sit idly by concerned about the partisan disputes that can only hurt our community.

The RLP and the ACA will work in cooperation in fighting for Libertatem in the government and in the community. Setting aside partisan divides, we will work to ensure the elections of qualified and experienced candidates that will work for Libertatem, not for Party.

While our parties will join together in coalition, this is not a merger and both parties will remain independent in their procedures, campaigns, and existence.

"I believe that this is the greatest step that we can make as a group of concerned citizens towards the Libertatem that we all knew and loved that commanded international respect and domestic liberty." said Humpheria, Senator and Chairman of the RLP.

"Unity is a very important message of the Alt-Centrist Alliance, and it is imperative that we work with the other political parties of the region and do what is best. The RLP has proven that they are dedicated to serving this great region, and so it would be an honor to form this colition with them." Jadentopia, founder of the ACA and Solicitor General said.

The Free Libertatem Coalition will consist of any elected officials from either party. We are proud of this agreement and look to the future with faith that it is bright.

Thanks to all that have voted for me this is truly a shift in the traditional elections Libertatem has hosted for quite some time now! I am proud to be a part of that shift in that we have helped end the party pressure faced by many members of government and citizens, so props to all everyone who made that possible! Feel free to ask me to sponsor any bill that you think will benefit this region and I will work with you to push through it through the Senate, reword/alter it, or flat out reject it! Nonetheless, I look forward to working with my fellow Senators and I will introduce my first bill tomorrow!

Something like a ranking system might work. War guy puts them in order of most important to protect, to least. That way, if we're split between two, we know which one to protect.

I completely agree the whole idea was that the Chancellor of War and the Chancellor of state work in tandem to determine which regions are truly in good standing, that way we can tackle each problem pragmatically.

If that was not clear enough in the current phrasing, I'll try to go in and add a few clarifying clauses.

Would anybody mind giving me a summary of what happened today in Libertatem? I'm sorry I'm super busy with school but I would like to know about the regional happenings.

The reason that I chose to be independent was not because the RLP was oppressive or tyrannical, the members of the RLP are among the most experienced and intelligent members of this region, most of them having sat where I sit today.

The reason I left the RLP was so other parties could feel more comfortable with me, so parties could know that my views were fluid and solely in the best interest of Libertatem.

It brings me great joy to see parties working together and I can't wait to work alongside them.

Emotional appeal gets much more support.

Whatever.

"...Condy, that's all you have to say?"

Well, we're already Libertatemites. I thought it went without saying that we have close ties to one another.

Fixed. We're Libertatem, not the US :P

It should go without saying. We should all be encouraging peace and love towards one another, regardless of political party, absolutely. Refrain from attacks and let's stick to the issues and have a civilized discussion. I feel I have made a lot of friends here already, hopefully that will grow. I commend the founders of the FLC for this concept of unity and to strive for equality and fairness in elections and regional politics.
