There is a fallacy here. You are not making a specific person’s labour a right, but making a type of labour a right. That labour can be provided by many people, each of whom could theoretically have the right to refuse. That labour being a right means that there is some mechanism that ensures a person gets it. E.g., right to an attorney.
Also, many many existing rights require other people’s labours. The right to a fair trial in the US would require a judge, a lawyer, and 12 members of a jury.
Unpopular opinion, when you make someone else’s labour a right you make that person a slave.
insofar as rights exist at all the very top of that list is the right to be left the fuck alone.

so what happens when everyone has the right to refuse you and does?
what does the right to anything mean if it can be denied?
A right isn’t something others force you to do. It’s something that can’t be taken from you.
Guy who became a doctor: leave me alone, sick people! You don’t have the right to access medical expertise taught in part by your taxes!
Capitalist realism at work folks.
Would we not help each other without highly paid doctors?
Maybe taxing my labour is part of the problem here.
It’s actually really abnormal to only want to help people if you’re highly paid, great example of how capitalism turns people into sociopaths.
I’m sure that defunding medical schools would improve care even more, great idea!
let’s fix capitalism with more capitalism
Capitalism is when taxes! 🤡
Yes. It’s happening now, and it’s happened for thousands of years. Next question.
