I believe I read it as you meant it conveyed.

Now to the issue of rights...Exactly how do you propose health care become a right without subjugating the rights of others?
As I have stated before, health care is goods and services. If one has a right to health care then what does that entail? Our rights are limits upon the power of the State. They are not monetarily bound. Goods and services do cost money because they are the product of ones labor, which one is entitled to under our Constitution. How do you rectify this contradiction? Specifically, how do you guarantee the fruits of one persons labor to another without violating the producer's rights?
