As initially stated a right to medical care indicates that doctors lose their right to work when and where and with whom they wish. That is slavery.
That's insane.
It's not insane in the slightest, even using your definition of "slavery" ...

Slavery is forced, uncompensated labor for which you have no choice. For example, if someone has kidnapped you and forced you into prostitution, you are actually a really real slave. If you get captured, stuck on a boat, brought to the new world and then are forced to work for a master, and you are not paid, you are a slave.
As SG has noted before, as others have linked stories time and again, Medicare and Medicaid are both 6-8 months behind the curve on payments NOW; and that delay is growing. The funds are not being dispersed in a timely manner, and the frequency of payment and reliability of payment is declining. You honestly expect that in the face of growing fiscal troubles and solvency issues facing the Federal government for that situation to improve with increased bureaucracy? You openly support removing her right of free association. You openly support removing her right of free travel. You openly support removing her right to privacy and free action. And you dare get up on your moral high horse like your some sort of Internet White Knight?

Using the word Slavery to describe your fear is honestly insulting to the history of *actual* slavery in the world. You would not be a slave in a nationalized system. Not even close. Call me when they put an actual chain around your neck, physically split up your family, when you count as only 3/5 a person in terms of the census, when you cannot vote, and when you are literally property. Until then, stow the slavery bullshit. It's demeaning for someone of your intellect.
You have no moral high ground. You have no imperative authority here. You can't speak in the declarative, because you have failed to demonstrate an understanding of the terms you use.

Just because Ayn Rand or some other idiot conservative philosopher extends the definition of Slavery to describe any situation in which your total freedom is limited doesn't mean you are actually enslaved. Seriously. Get over yourself. Anyone who thinks that taxes are slavery - you're nuts. Plain and simple. If you think that someone working in a public system that considers something like education to be a right is a slave, you are nuts as well. Go have a sit down and nice long moment of deep introspection.
Actually, that tears it...
Go take your favorite rapier and shove it up *** you. Hopefully it's long enough to pierce your brain stem and save use the trouble of having to read your drivel. In this very thread you have called SquirrelGirl nuts, an idiot, demeaning, to get over herself, and in need of "deep introspection" ... This is precisely the kind of post that has gotten you suspended over and over and over again. So ... yeah, just like Aizle, you need to stop talking out of ***, treat other posters with respect, and stop acting like a self-important internet superstar ... You're nothing more than a cockstain on tighty-whiteys of the internet liberal movement. You're that dried, yellowed residue of urea growing in front of some poor, fat slob's fly because he's too lazy to use a wash cloth when he jacks off to the idea that he's entitled to something, to anything. And, quite frankly, I'm **** tired of it ...
You come to this forum and spout your ignorance and blatantly plagiarize people who don't even **** understand how to breathe ...
You come to this forum and insult other posters, attack their persons, call their religious and spiritual beliefs fiction, and then presume you can hop up on some white charger, put on your shining armor, and tell a medical professional frustrated and suffering under the very bureaucracy you want to expand that she's "Nuts" and an "Idiot" and "Stupid" and "doesn't understand what she's talking about?"
No, you don't get to do that. So, while I know you're going to go running to Mods just like Captain Victim Card, I don't give a ****. They can ban me. Because, honestly, this place has turned into another internet **** hole. But don't you ever presume you have the moral authority again you sorry piece of uneducated, willfully ignorant, and morally indigent **** ...
You have exhausted everyone's patience time and again, and this time you've exhausted mine.

If you are not toiling with an overseer who's got an actual whip in his hand, you are not a slave. If you are not forced to work for nothing, you are not a slave. If you have not been literally auctioned off, you are not a slave. What you are is someone who has made a serious rhetorical error, and you should be ashamed of yourself.
She didn't make any rhetorical errors. Perhaps you should read the
Organon and Plato's
Ars Poetica so that you might actually understand what rhetoric really means. That said ...
Kindly, just SHUT THE **** UP.
