For those of you who have Usenet access, I posted an article called "Health care is NOT a right" under alt.anarchism, alt.politics.economics and alt.philosophy.
You can look it up under Google Groups or use a newsreader. There is a public news server at nntp.aioe.org.
"As long as there are sovereign nations possessing great power, war is inevitable."
Here is the thread:

The replies were mostly collectivist, "no man is an island," "it takes a village" platitudes.

Actually what really annoys me is the flippant use of the term troll, simply because, "omg! someone said something I disagree with it on the internet".
The other responses are expected, of course, but it's a shame to see usenet not being immune to the recent politically correct revision the term "troll" has apparently taken on the internet in the past few years.

I tried to make a comment couldn't get through the preliminaries of setting up an account. I couldn't get it to work.
There was this one:
> Why?
> Because food, housing, education, and health care require labor, and nobody > is entitled to somebody else's labor.
Oh, and your troll gets 1 on a scale of 10.

I use the NNTP server at nntp.aioe.org. It lets you post newsgroup articles for free, and anonymously. I used a fake email address.
I'm sure your computer came with a newgroup reader, such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Mail, etc. Set up a news account, and you'll be trolling in no time!
A more accurate slogan would be "healthcare is a right but making someone give it to you or taking money from someone to pay for it is not a right". My slogan is less catchy though.

BREAKING NEWS:
somebody actually posted a sensible response to my Usenet thread. Look for the one by "Bent Attorney Esq."
Most of the other responses are collectivist socialist rubbish.
