a common argument given against stating that healthcare is a human right is that if you make a positive right a human right you will make the provider of those rights slaves. that is because they will be forced to provide that service against their will. it always sounded like a weak argument to me, after all child education is a positive right and teachers are not treated like slaves. however, barring people from working at their main competitor is a pretty good way to force them to work at their current company in order to not lose their income and their house. that argument is starting to make more sense to me now.
