>Perhaps I was incorrect in drawing the inference that you believed there is a right to live a long, healthy life
Actually, it was a silly, off-the-cuff, way for me to state what I meant...
What I meant, now that think of it, was, shouldn't it be a priority for the government to make sure that it isn't so much easier for a rich person to live a long, healthy life, than for a poor person?
Of course, that point is completely undebatable... it's an opinion. I'm going to believe that the answer is "yes", you're going to believe it's "no", and there's no way for you to convince me otherwise or for me to convince you otherwise.
It's sort of like abortion -- PROLIFE is not going to be able to convince me that a fetus and a baby are not the same thing, and I'll never convince him of the opposite.
