Healthcare is a right, so people don’t want to pay

OP wrote “Well when healthcare is labeled a “right” people don’t want to pay”.

Remember, the ADA lobbied for the separation of dental from medical coverage due to money. 💰

OP is a dentist, so he’s obviously educated and knows about taxes. Surely, they know that “free healthcare” isn’t free and that it’s covered by taxes (and no, taxes wouldn’t increase significantly for most Americans and it would be a savings due to no longer paying high insurance premiums and copays).

Does OP think that if people have the right to healthcare, they’re going to treat it as an endless shopping spree for unnecessary and frivolous services and care?

Us American nurses have all experienced this frustration at some point or another, either personally or with patients.

Just wanted to rant, have a good nigh everyone
