[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, I think you are confused.  No one said that health care as a right was written into the Constitution.  Many among us believe that access to affordable, and yes, in some cases, free health care is a basic human right.

If you don't, fine.  You do you.

“Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane.” – Martin Luther King Jr.

DP here. You can't say something is a basic human right and then go on to say "you do you". The recognition of something as a basic human right leaves no room for someone to behave differently. For example, free speech is a right, so a person is not free to "you do you" by infringing on someone else's right to free speech. If access to affordable/free health care is a basic human right, that means some doctors or health care provider must provide it without compensation, which amounts to slave labor. If you counter this by arguing that doctors/health care provider can be compensated by tax dollars, then it's not really affordable/free to all, is it? [/quote]
