<Quality Healthcare requires medicine, labor, equipment, etc.> Universal Healthcare is not just a human right, but a basic requirement for any modern state that wants to remain a modern state. Sick people that die young don't do much for the economy. <To claim it as a right is to claim a right to the time, labor, expertise and property of another. That is the definition of slavery and theft.> The right to health care for all is not an optional stance. Rather, the right to health care is a human right founded on human dignity and the common good. Considered as such, health care is more than a commodity in so far as it is an essential safeguard of human life and dignity that ought to be provided for and to everyone. <Do you really think you have a right to enslave and steal from others???> Who the Hoot do you think you are talking to? Children suffer because their parents cannot afford decent care. Families face financial disaster because of the high cost of serious illness. Every such case in society mocks the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness that is the nation’s founding ideal. I know you do not believe in such Democratic ideals, as those set forth in the Constitution. But I do.
