| deathgod33 said: if people don't have health care, thats their own fault. Health care is a need, not a right. |
Education, police, roads, fire services, Parks, councils, etc... None of these are a "right" per se, but something that is integral to a community, often provided by the government (be it local or national); elsewhere in the western world healthcare also falls into this category.
Healthcare is simply beyond the means of many American communities, universal healthcare is primary concern in the USA (as it is one of the last countries to provide this kind of national service). The only real issue I see is whether a national healthcare system can be implemented in an efficient manner that makes it worthwhile.
