It's forced labor in that the state takes the proceeds of some of your labor in order to pay those doctors to treat others. I.e. Taxes. No one is saying that doctors are put into work-camps or threatened into working.
- arcticbull 8y agoOh, I see - so are you suggesting the interstate system, the fire department, the post office, the public school system, the water pipes, electricity, gas, medicare, medicaid, the army, every regulatory body, and so on are all forced labor? If so, great, count me in. It feels like an entirely arbitrary place to draw the line to say you support public education and the fire department but not public health. If you support neither, well, the dark ages are that way. Literally because the power grid is socialized. Either way, nobody's forced to work. Neither you, nor your doctor.
- justtopost 8y agoIf we don't work, we starve. Yes, every living being is 'forced to work'. The gun may be held by an opressive government, or nature itself, but work is as omnipresent as death and taxes.
