Arguing free healthcare is bad has to be the dumbest stance to have. And last i checked the doctors will still get paid just not by the patients but by the government.

Also the 6th Amendment exists. You are quite literally entitled to the services of a government-provided public defender if needed. The idea we can’t do the same for healthcare for this reason is a complete farce

If they get really sick I hope they don’t expect a doctor to do their job and work for them, that’s slavery by this same logic

By that logic, police, soldiers, firefighters, and literally anybody with any type of government job are all slaves.

The argument isn’t that government-provided healthcare is slavery. It’s that if healthcare is declared a legal right, the government is obligated to provide it. When medical professionals are inevitably scarce, the government must either: A.) fail to guarantee that right or B.) force people to provide care.

Every AnCap I’ve ever spoken to believes those professions should be privatized or abolished.

You’d be shocked even how many second-year JD candidates don’t understand that positive rights are literally written into our Constitution. So glad I had a ConLaw professor who was willing to set people right over that.

This is true, but we do force attorneys to work against their will. Thats one of the trade offs.

I mean if you took the time to read the first couple paragraphs of that article, it’s actually about an attorney who was allowed to withdraw from a public defender case that he argued would’ve interfered with his ability to provide adequate counsel to his existing clients. The most common scenario by far is that people who are serving public defender cases agreed in some capacity to do them

The case found that the government has a right to involuntarily appoint lawyers. It’s irrelevant whether or not that specific lawyer was allowed to withdraw.
