You do not own govt money. You have the right to use it. Govt has the need for you to use it.
Fact be it that rights can be altered and are only as valid as being recognized.

The benefits and their broad impacts matter in an appropriate assessment
if you want to go back to your position that you feel it is wrong despite being unable to provide evidence then that is fine; however, it does reiterate that your claims that the Canadian system is violating human rights appear to be without any support, aside from the panic that exists in your imagination
ironically, the health system may be the solution in your issue there are all sorts of treatment for the type of anxieties and delusions you are facing, which are visibly having a negative mental health impact on your life

BANANA.MAN said: ... Like I said, police have similar protocol everywhere if someone is to be arrested and wont willingly go with you, initiate force.
Then you should be able to show data from Canada rather than relying on data from the US if your argument is that since it happens in New Jersey it also happens in Canada, you should have data points of it happening in Canada
but, again, the issue isn't whether or not police use force we both already agreed that the police should have the right to use force to defend citizens
your specific claim is that the police will use force to subdue or kill citizens who do not pay taxes and you haven't shown data in support of your point
Taking money from someone and giving it to someone else violates the right to property. In our healthcare system people are forced to pay varying amounts of money for the same coverage. you said the difference in payment could be accounted for by age. I showed you that there is inequality within not only between generations so people differing amounts throughout their lives not only at certain points in time.
The fact that you may see benefits doesn't mean its not a re distributive system. taking money from someone and using it to fund someone else's healthcare violates the right to property.

So tax evasion is a crime, police can arrest you for a crime and police can subdue you and take you into custody against your will if you do not go willingly. All Canadian sources.
Awesome, thank you

Not so. If I grow food I have produced wealth. money is simply a placeholder for wealth. It was my labour that produced something of value. If I sell that food for money and the government takes the money, they have taken the fruits of my labour.
natural rights are not granted by government they an only be protected by government. they preexist government.

not going to copy the text here as it is just an opinion and it is going in to the part of Ireland that is not in the UK and doesn't weigh on anything we were discussing just found it funny/cool that it is the "article" most CBC users are reading at the particular moment of being linked to a supporting account on the site

I'm talking about protecting the right to life. preventing life from being taken.
A right is something that cant be taken away. not something that must be given to you free of charge at someone else's expense.

out of interest, where do you stand on the relative morality of disability services? disability is not covered by healthcare, so this is not really covering the same distribution
but personally find it an intersting area of concern disability funding is inherently redistributive taxation -- it is money taken from people who can work and given to those who can't but the issue is slightly more complex than "can't work" as the most extreme examples cannot feed or care for themselves
in your eyes is this a family issue first and if so, what happens in the (frequent) cases where their families are abusive rather than supportive?
in Manitoba there is an additional metric of complexity wherein some individuals who end up in the system also came from backgrounds on the Reservation, so their extended family also were exempt from many forms of Canadian taxation

Lot's of things will never be ideal.
I do not belief this existence was purposed for ideals. The problem is we lost feeling for thoughfs. Our feelings be ame stronger than what we thought we were. Religion is pretty much people hallicinating that there is something more to their experience. There is but it's you, the greater aspect of yourself that will kill you just to be whole again.
The search for wholeness created more problems than ever needed be.

Western morality pretty much universally agrees that withholding medical treatment from those with medical needs is unacceptable. The laws of the US and I’m sure Canada require that healthcare providers treat anyone whose life is at risk. So, whether you agree or not, taxpayers are going to pick up some of those costs. Healthcare providers have to charge more to paying customers to cover loses they incur. In the US there is $88 billion in outstanding medical debt. 79 million Americans owe money for healthcare services. Whether you like it or not, a fairly large percent of the population can not afford healthcare costs they have incurred.

In the United States, if you choose to not buy health insurance, you are essentailly gambling with someone else’s money that you won’t get sick, because without insurance very few people could afford the cost of a significant illness or injury. Something like a broken arm will cost you $5k - 10k. An accident that puts you in the hospital for a week would be a minimum $50k. Not being insured is freeloading

Do you have to take the taxes by force even if there's just compensation, though, or is it actually voluntary? If it's by force, even with compensation/representation, that's still theft, just with a nice bubble wrap over it.
What if I don't want what you're offering, like Obama Care?

There is no just compensation with obamacare. its redistributive.
The government needs to be able to levy taxes. The fact is that we have democratic governments and if people want to spend that tax money on things which are non excludable and non competitive I really have no interest in stopping them right now. It only takes away from our cause, makes libertarians look fringe, and really, focusing on things like that isnt going to help us get rid of the real violations of human rights.
You can hold onto your dream of a totally bare bones government. thats never going to happen. certainly not in my country. we were not founded on a bloody revolution against tyranny. The queen is acctually still our head of state.
see there are two types of libertarians. those who beleive any initiation of force is inherently immoral, and those who beleive that there are legitimate roles for government but that the government should have very specific restrictions and should for example, not involve its self with the redistribution of wealth or any voluntary transaction between 2 parties except where an unwilling third party is affected.
if citizens want the government to continue funding something like public playgrounds (which are non excludable, non competitive, and frankly not very costly anyway) ideally the local, municipal governments would fund that. that way peopel can move. if the federal government puts something into law there is no argument that can be made that the law is voluntary.
a municipality funding a playground is really not what I'm concerned about. Im far more concerned by the acctual taking of ones money so it can be spent on someone else. If my city wants to take like $10 from me to build a playground that will require almost no funding to upkeep and which everyone can truly have equal access to. I'm not going to freak out about that.

Western morality has no qualms about bankrupting a person over medical costs which are hugely exaggerated so people in the INDUSTRY can be rich.
People don't become doctors to help people. If that were true, they wouldn't charge an arm and a leg. It's an industry that people get into for egotistical prowess. WHICH just so happens to require some actual service helping people.
Drs charge a lot to find nothing out and lack a lot of resources in treatment. There is so much hype in the next treatment. Chances are it probably sat on a researchers shelf and was barely modified from an older treatment.
Imagine if all farmers held out on selling food and only sold it very half your life savings. The Government would never stand for that. Yet medically they swing prices all over the place.

Obamacare is just the structure and rules for setting up private insurance markets. Before Obamacare, you generally could not buy an individual insurance plan. Insurance was almost entirely provided through employers.
