I Have a Right

To not be forced to pay for something that I don't want.
Including but not limited to health insurance.
I'm being forced to pay for health insurance now, but I don't like it.
When I have a choice, I take the $$ I could have spent on insurance and spend it on self-care.

This is exactly how I feel about any type of mandatory "health care." I would rather spend my own money on healthy, natural food than on an insurance plan that will inevitably only attempt to solve my problems with dangerous, synthetic pills. I rarely have any serious health issues these days, but when I do, diet and exercise are sufficient solutions almost every time. I shouldn't have to help fund a system that I know only worsens my health.

which right would that be? Right number.....?

Health Insurance, drivers license renewal fees, owning a business, etc is a privilege, granted by someone to someone else.

Perhaps it is one of those many unenumerated rights.
Rather, I think I have the right to good health unencumbered by poisons, pollutants, vaccinations, or other potential profit making endeavors by others, upon my body.
