    I'm a tad confused by something I see deathboy repeating from time to time. You seem to suggest that health care is not a right.

    While you are correct that it is not a codified right in the Constitution, there are many examples of national, state and local gov't making rights for its citizens.

    As far as I am concerned, good health should be a right. And the only way to achieve that is through good health care.

    Care to weigh in db?

    • ...not to change the subject.luckyorphan
    • those other "rights" doesnt justify healthcare. only hting that can jsutify it is by how u declare it a right
      ********
    • hell if majority rule declares soemthign a right then anything can be a right. which calls for what is a right
      ********
    • id like good health to be a right but that is impossible by nature
      ********
    • unless of course a certain portion gives forcefully give up property rights. id declare healthcare as a privilege
      ********
    • In a way, you're right, but it is clearly within the public interest to designate health care as a right.luckyorphan
    • i'll call it a privilege. and it is in ppls interest to get as many privileges as possible
      ********
    • bums me out when people blindly declare whatever they want as a right.
