I was talking (just shoot me now) to a verified liberal the other day and they said that each American had a "Right" to health insurance/care. I gave her that look of disdainment and said "Precisely WHERE in the Bill of Rights is health care or insurance mentioned?"

She shook her head (you know the look, like here's a person with facts....) and said that it's an inalienable right. I asked her if there was also a "Right" for each American to have car insurance? I mean after all....it IS insurance. She saw that I would not be a supporter of her historical interpretation of our rights and chose to shut up, and this made me happy.
