Re: [As far as certain governments around the world (because they consider access to health care to be a citizen's BASIC RIGHT,] "Someone can consider any nonsense to be a basic right."

So what?

I'm sure that there are probably plenty of societies around the world, plenty of different sovereign nations, (even many ones with popular Democratic forms of government) where they consider some of OUR NATION'S granted "fundamental rights", (for example: 'right to bear arms') to be "nonsense" as you put it.

Just as *you* consider that it's "nonsense" that MANY sovereign nations define 'right to health care' as a basic human right.

So what?

You can think what you want to, and they can think what they want to, about what "is a basic fundamental human right"....
