Al, the issue is NOT whether health care is a "right." Obtaining health care has always been a right, either implied or explicitly stated in various laws.

The issue is who pays for your health care. If you can't afford it, does that mean you were denied the right to health care? No, it just means you can't afford it.

Is that fair, to have people's own physical health determined by their ability to pay? No, but it's been a hard fact of life for a long time. Universal health care is supposed to alleviate that, but this is not an issue of "rights."
