What rights do you think we don’t have in the USA? I can do whatever I want, and I do every day in the USA.

Getting an abortion 🤷🏼‍♀️

Abortion is legal in the USA actually. It might require a drive to a neighboring state for some states’ residents but it is still something that Americans have the right to do.

Although many Americans do not have the means to do so. Also some states are trying to (already have?) outlaw this.

Get hurt and get treated at a hospital without paying.

I actually have done that in the USA. Emergency departments have to provide medical treatment to anyone who needs it regardless of their ability to pay.

Additionally, when I was in poverty I was able to get very discounted health services at the county health department. They provide healthcare with an income-based rate, so that poor people can afford it.

Your attempt has been debunked, good day.

How about getting good healthcare outside of emergencies or living in poverty?

Depending on which state your in, determines your individual freedoms.

In Michigan:
I can light up a joint on my porch and wave to the passing cop car.
I cannot legally operate an unlicensed vehicle on city streets.
I cannot launch my own aircraft.
I cannot turn Right on Red.

I’m fairly certain that you do not have the freedumb to cook meth in your kitchen.

I will concede the “I can do whatever I want; once.” argument. Kind of like how I could go outside and fire off a few rounds into the air. Sure, I CAN do it, but it’s illegal for me to do so for public safety reasons.

Also, you cannot strike a member of Congress regardless of the state.
