I feel that healthcare is a fundamental right that every human being should have. In the U.S.A we treat healthcare as if it a privilege and not right due to the healthcare system that we have establish. Our healthcare system is base on profit; so doctors, hospitals, pharmacies, insurance companies are all out for themselves and not the wellbeing of the patient. In the USA we believe that no child should go without an education but on the other hand we feel that they don’t need healthcare. I don’t understand how we can be one of the riches countries and not care about the health of our people. About a year ago I became very ill and was in the hospital for about three weeks, in those three weeks I accumulate a bill of more then $200,000.00 in which the insurance company only covered part of the bill. At this point I may have to fill for bankruptcy due to the fact that I‘m unable to pay these outrageous bills. Now I’m afraid to become ill due to the fact that my credit is in disarray as million Americans also feel the same. I don’t think it right to fear going to the doctor or not having the opportune to go the doctor, something got to change with our healthcare. We as the one of the riches countries need to reevaluate our system so that our fundamental rights are met
I believe that healthcare is a fundamental right and its not treated that way. Why shouldnt we have the right to be provided with what we need to have a healthy life? I think some sort of health care system to where anyone can afford the basic healthcare needs to be created that will work for both the patients and the doctors. Like Auto insurance, there are many policies that cover the basic insurance you need and aren't ridiculously expensive and we have to show proof that we have it other wise we cant drive. Not that we need to provide we have health insurance other wise we cant live, but why is auto insurance so enforced and health care isn't? I see it as you either have to be making a great money to afford good health insurance or you have to be jobless to try to get government funded health care. What about the people in between who dont make enough money to afford a good health insurance plan but cant afford to be without a job? Do they not matter? Everyone should have the right to good healthcare, i dont think it should ever be viewed as a privilege.
Health care is a fundamental right that everyone should have. Every person has the right to live and receive health care for a healthy life. Health care is based on fundamentals of making money and has turned in to money making institutions. These fundamentals should be focused solely on the health of people instead of dollar values. In America former president Bush altered education standards for children in the 2001, “No child left behind” act that gives every child a right to education. The same focus should be incorporated into healthcare. It should be an understood right, not a privilege for every person. Currently, the dollar value of a person’s health is the main focus of the system. Reform should be made to consider healthcare as a moral right not just for the privileged few. When America sends money, food, and soldiers to other countries to help "reform", issues like healthcare in our own country arise. America makes sure people in other countries have a right to healthcare without realizing how many of our own go without.
Healthcare is no doubt something that every person should have an opportunity to utilize, however making it mandatory may not be the best option. A few people have compared it to auto insurance, which I don’t think is a valid comparison. If somebody gets sick and can’t afford a doctor visit and dies of pneumonia, they do not run the risk of causing a financial or health liability for another person. A person decides to crash their car without insurance, and they very well run the risk of injuring another person, car insurance should be mandated due to the potential risk to other members of society if one chooses to go without. Health insurance should be left to personal choice. There are laws and rules set into place in this country that mandate that every person receives healthcare in regards to emergency/life saving procedures regardless of their status as insured or not. Some illnesses will require the latest technology and treatments to attempt to cure, and quite frankly this research and implementation of such extensive and complicated care plans is expensive. There are only a handful of physicians, biologists, chemists etc., that are able to do the work that brings about the latest life saving technologies. There is of course a very high demand for their services and the nature of their work (allowing only so few to have the minds and means to do it) means that in a capitalist system that it will be costly. There has not been one instance in the ER that I’ve been employed at in the last 2 years that any single person has been sent away without care or received less than the best care we can provide due to not having insurance. The workers and people involved directly in patient care are unable to even ask about insurance status. I do believe that healthcare is indeed a fundamental privilege that is extended to all human beings. We need to understand in this society everybody gets treated. Our emergency rooms are full of people with minor illnesses that could easily solved with a day on the couch, but they still get the chest x-ray, CBC, BMP and sent on home with a prescription (I speculate this is driven by the emphasis administration places on pt satisfaction, despite the small % of pt population that fills them out…mostly the angry..feel free to look at apartment reviews for reference). The majority of the people that I deal with are on government paid plans and treat the ER as a primary physician’s office and never take advantage of the resources that are given. In this respect I feel that healthcare is treated as a right that people take advantage of. The fairness of the system breaks down when people get truly sick and require long hospital stays and many specialist services. Of course this is going to be more expensive and the hospitals are less able to use charity funds to cover these costs when they are largely spent on the sniffles.
I believe that with the state our economy is in that healthcare is a fundamental right because you practically can’t survive without it you’ll either go broke or be in debt for the rest of your life either way you are paying monthly or weekly. The definition of a privilege is defined as a right, immunity, or benefit enjoyed only by a person beyond the advantages of most. Now healthcare relates to none of these words that define privileged. Sure healthcare is a right but it doesn’t make you immune because everyone has to have it or acquired later on in life when you get a job or perhaps given to you by your parents. Is it a benefit? Yes sometimes in certain situations it is especially when you have that huge hospital bill that mysteriously disappears. However, it is a huge no when you don’t have the sufficient insurance to cover the entire bill and you get stuck with the leftovers. A fundamental right is defined as a right that is considered by a court to be explicitly or implicitly expressed in a constitution. Now healthcare according to the Supreme Court is granted to the citizens of the United States by the Supreme Court and is like I’ve said before a basic necessity you need to survive. Our economy thrives on the fact that our healthcare system is supposed to be supreme considering that we are the richest country in America. Doctors, insurance companies, and private companies thrive off of our healthcare system. It is not considered a privilege because the average joe doesn’t benefit from it only the people behind it. I would consider it to be a definite fundamental right because it is needed and is not necessarily given to you by anyone as some sort of award. It is needed to prevent debt or bankruptcy and also to make sure you are healthy because most doctors won’t even bother wasting their time with you if you don’t have it. Therefore I think that healthcare is a fundamental right rather than a privilege.
I believe that healthcare is a fundamental right. We as human beings have the right to lead healthy, happy lives. Unfortunately, in the United Sates we treat health care as a privilege, which only those with money should be allowed to receive it. You would think that since America is one of the wealthiest countries in the world, we would be better at providing for our people. Take the Japanese for instance, no one ever complains about not being able to afford health care. A one night stay in a hospital with your own room is 90 yen! Here in the states if you stayed in the hospital for one night your hospital bill would be some where between 300 to 600 dollars, depending on the reason for the stay. In other countries like Japan, Germany and Great Britain health insurance companies actually fight for the public’s business, unlike in the United States. Here we have to go out and find insurance that will not only cover us adequately, but that we can afford. Healthcare should be something that everyone receives, no one should have to suffer because they can not afford a simple doctors visit. I could not even imagine how horrible it would be to be sick and need medicine, but not be able to go to the doctor because I could not afford the visit itself, let alone the medicine that would be prescribed. Healthcare is something so many that have it take for granted, could you imagine having something as small as a cavity, and you would not be able to go the dentist to get it fixed because you could not afford the procedure. So instead you get to suffer, this is the unfortunate truth for thousands of Americans. In the end, Healthcare is not something that should be given to those who can afford it, it should be evenly distributed throughout our country from the poor to the rich, no one should be forced to suffer because they cannot afford healthcare.
It is my belief that healthcare is a fundamental right because it is essential to survive. In some cases, people have never gone to the doctor because they have never been ill or injured. But that is probably a very, very small percentage of the United States and probably globally. I would say that most people have been ill or injured at some point in their life. It may not be serious, but without treatment, an illness or injury can put your life at risk. In 2002, the IOM(Institute of Medicine) did some research on people with access to health and people not having access in the United States. It was recorded that approximately 18,000 adults die each year in the United States because they are not insured meaning they cannot get proper healthcare. Even though this information is aged, I have no doubt that this number is still roughly the same or higher due to the recession and other events. Being uninsured raises the risk of dying if you are mentally ill, poor, a minority, chronically sick, etc. It is sad to think that we live in a world where one nine letter word determines if you live or die. That is why I believe healthcare is a fundamental right. Whether you are rich or poor, mentally ill or stable, majority or minority, we are all human beings that have the right to essentials in order to survive. When it comes to healthcare, there should be no discrimination. If you have insurance or are uninsured, you do not have to worry about if you will see tomorrow because you know, no matter what, a slight cough or serious cancer, you know you can go somewhere to be treated. That is a fundamental right that everyone should have.
I believe that health care is a fundamental right to have. I truly believe that here in the U.S. people use it to make outrageously big profit. In the other hand right now it is seem more like a privilege. I say that because only some people advance from health care right now. But what about the poor, just because they can’t be economically well they don’t deserve to get sick or even die. There has shown studies that people without health care are the ones that get sicker from stressing that they don’t have health care and they are the most common to get sick and in the end having them to go to the emergency room and getting really costly bills. I truly think that people shouldn’t be stressing about this problem. Having to say that we live in one of the richest countries in the world it should be in a person’s less worries. But that is not the case the poor are not living a healthy lifestyle this being one of the reasons. Everyone should have a right to live and have a healthy life and have healthy families. I believe that by having health care in a way, we don’t face the problem of going bankrupt and having to pay bills for years. Overall, we live in a country with a lot of rights, rights for the well being of the people and I believe that health care is the “well-being” of all people.
I believe that it is every persons fundamental right to health care. Why? I personally have had to experience being without health care insurance when we moved here from L.A. My husband and I had only been married a year and failed to update his medical insurance options and that left me and my sons without health coverage for the entire first year we lived here in AZ. I remember thinking I hope none of us gets sick or hurt because we aren't going to be able to go to the doctor or hospital without it costing us a fortune. Well that possibility turned into reality in late November of 2003. My youngest son came down with a cold and for the first 3 days I kept him home and tried to keep him well hydrated, but that didn't work. He eventually wound up in the emergency room and I was presented with a bill for about $4000. I couldn't believe that an 8 hour visit to the emergency room could cost so much and then I had no clue how we were even going to pay the bill. Part of my keeping my son home without consulting the doctor initially was because I was hoping he would get better before getting worse to avoid getting that type of bill. It is sad to know that you have to risk your child's life or your own just to make sure you don't go into debt. I remember thinking how unfair it is to not be able to just take my kids or myself to the doctor when I needed to without having to think about the cost of co-pays and residual bills that insurance would not cover. Even today, I will not go to the doctor because my co-pay is $30 for my regular doctor and $45 for a specialist...these are costs that I can't afford to pay due to being unemployed for almost the last year. I like the other countries and how people who are covered under NHS don't have to think like me about co-pays and is my pain really worth the trip to the doctor this time or should I just ignore what's going on with my body. I have a prescription that is about to run out within the next 5 days and it burns me to know that I don't have the money to get a refill and it burns me even more knowing that I have to pay $50 just to get it filled. That is on the cheap side of my prescriptions. So, people like me should not have to choose between their health or eating for the next week because that co-pay could feed a family for a week or put gas in someone's car to continue to work. I have never understood why the U.S. doesn't regulate the insurance companies and the pharmaceutical companies from making these huge profits off people. Whether you are rich or poor, no one should have to go without preventative care or emergency care or medications that can keep someone living longer just because they don't have health care coverage. The U.S. should have been the country to set the standards across the world for health care for all, but we have failed miserably on that front. We are too rich a country to allow for our own fellow Americans to be without the fundamental right to access awesome health care and at no charge to us.
To answer this question perhaps it would be helpful to define the words privilege and right. A privilege is a restricted right or benefit: an advantage, right, or benefit that is not available to everyone and usually only enjoyed by the elite. A right is an entitlement: a justified claim or entitlement. According to the definitions above, I would have to say healthcare is a right and not a privilege and history proves this position. In 1965 President Lyndon Johnson decided to create a “Great Society” in this great society he included the Medicare Act and the Medicaid Act to provide the elderly, rich and poor with healthcare. President Johnson did this because studies had shown that older people used hospitals three times more than other Americans, but most only had an income half as large, Medicare only took care of the rich so the Medicaid Act was passed to insure the poor elderly people. Also the Federal government pay’s for the medical expenses of those on welfare or those too poor to afford healthcare . Furthermore, while our troops are serving in the military health care for them and their dependents is free, after they end their tour of duty by retiring or even after a two year tour that veteran receives free medical treatment through the VA. For years according to our government and I agree, healthcare has been treated as a fundamental right not a privilege. Now it’s time for this right to be extended to the middle class, upper middle class and the rich because we’re all United States citizens, not just a select few. Moreover, if healthcare is treated as a privilege this would force physicians’ all over the country to violate the Hippocratic Oath, to do no harm because they would be forced to deny treatment to the uninsured.
I think it’s very vague to call healthcare a fundamental right or a privilege. It could be a little bit of both, or neither. Ideally, healthcare should be a right for every person in the world, but that is just impossible, unthinkable. Ok, then it should be a fundamental right for every person in the US, being this a first world country and definitely one of the most powerful nations in the world with desires of utopian societies; every person in these societies should have the right to proper healthcare without having to worry about ending up bankrupted, submerged in debts. If we were to call healthcare a privilege we could be mistaken. Definitely it is the wealthy people that enjoy of these services without worrying much about the medical bills, but I would be lying if I said that they are the only ones that get it. If you work for healthcare and are willing to pay for it you can have it. The issue is that most people are afraid of getting sick or being injured because of the extremely high costs for some treatments or procedures that go from a common flu to a broken bone. For instance, not long a go I went to play soccer with my friend who took a wrong step and hurt his lateral ankle. I told him to massage it and put some ice on it before it got swollen. He didn’t do it and had a sprained ankle the next day. He went to have it checked and received a bill of around $1,200 the next week. It is unbelievably pricey to get injured in the US compared to other first world countries such as Japan or Germany. Although it is an excellent idea to have healthcare for everybody we have to measures the pros and cons, and personally I find it very difficult for doctors and specialists to sacrifice part of their earnings to lower treatments costs. Such a shame for this country, to put so much effort and money in other areas that don't benefit its own people.
I believe that health care is a fundamental right. Many fundamental rights are also more widely considered to be human rights, the classification of a right as fundamental determine the carefully controlled circumstances for which the United States government (and the different state governments) can impose limitations on these rights. I believe that our government is unfairly imposing limitations simply by allowing our system to discriminate healthcare services based on economic status. Those that have excess means to provide for their health can do so. Those that live in poverty and meet the qualifications of the government can receive optimal care for free or at an extremely low monthly fee. (AZ kids care is as low as $10.00 a month per family member with no co-pay or out of pocket cost) However we are not taking care of the middle class families. Our middle class citizens are the ones that keep our communities running. They work at our supermarkets, schools, and customer service. Yet our government is not helping these families reasonably afford health insurance. Our healthcare system has not truly worked for a long time. We have far too many people in excess debt do to necessary medical treatment. Our healthcare is important to our survival, so isn't it fair to say that in a society where only the rich and the poor have access to optimal healthcare, the middle class is a dying breed? If this statement is true, then what will come of our communities, when the middle class is unable to fulfill their important role. We are doing an extreeme diservice if changes are not made.
From my opinion, I truly believe that healthcare should be a fundamental right for each person in the United States. Every person has the right to live a happy and healthy life. However, that fundamental right is devalued in the U.S. because healthcare in our country is a privilege. More than 47 million people in the U.S. do not have insurance. However, our country spent 1/6 of its GDP on healthcare. It is much more than any industrialized country in the world. The U.S. has “No Child Left Behind Act of 2001” to ensure that every student has the right to receive the standards-based education, but the government does not have any law that ensure every person can get access to healthcare. The government spent a lot of money on education and economy, but it forgot the fundamental right that a human being should have. That is the right to get access to healthcare. Every person has the right to life. The reason healthcare is a fundamental right is because access to healthcare may make the difference between life and death. If a person has an illness and does not get any treatment, that illness may become worse and eventually kill the person. The free access to healthcare also affects quality of life. Good health is a fundamental right for each person because without good health we cannot do anything to enjoy our lives. Another reason healthcare should be a right is because every person has his or her own worth. If healthcare is a privilege for those who can afford it, this implies that the wealthy have greater value than the poor; this is unethical. I also believe that each person in the U.S. cannot go bankrupt because he or she does not have insurance when he or she is sick. We can all imagine that if someone is diagnosed with breast cancer, she may be under a lot of stress. She may undergo chemotherapy and many invasive treatments and recover. However, after the recovery, she finds out that she owes the hospital a huge amount of money. Many similar cases are happening in the U.S. everyday. The sick person is so desperate because of the illness, but after that person just overcomes the illness, he or she needs to fight with a huge financial problem. It is really ridiculous. Many problems in the U.S. healthcare system may be created from the free market policy. Many insurance companies do not allow a person with pre-existing conditions to buy insurance. These insurance companies just want to make a profit and are not concerned about anything else. I think the government should have regulation to control the insurance companies. Not only is making healthcare a right rather than a privilege an idea that is ethical, it is also financially pragmatic. Universal healthcare is good for everyone. It is good for the patient, the hospital, and the government. We have to consider cost of preventive care vs. cost of treating the illness conclusion. For instance, if a person does not have any insurance and goes to the hospital for a check-up, he or she may pay a lot of money for that. If that person does not have money, he or she cannot receive any service from that hospital. That same person may have a heart attack a couple months later and be taken to that hospital for treatment. This time the hospital cannot refuse the treatment even though that person does not have any insurance. The hospital may spend a lot of money out of pocket to pay for the treatment because the patient does not have any money. The hospital may ask the government to pay part of the treatment. If that person received the early check-up, he or she may not have heart attack later. Therefore, I believe that healthcare should be a fundamental right rather than a privilege. If healthcare is a privilege, the government devalues the basic rights of each citizen in the United States.
I feel healthcare is a fundamental right not a privilege. This is just one of the many ways in which the United States government keeps the rich, rich and the poor, poor. Healthcare in America is clearly a business for profit and is not really intended to find the most cost effective ways that will insure that all Americans are and remain healthy. It’s ridiculous some Medicare and Medicaid patients can’t even afford the prescriptions that they need to stay alive. While the big pharmaceutical companies keep pushing drugs and making big profits off of them. I can’t understand, why then is it so hard for the less financially fortunate people to afford their prescriptions. There are clearly huge amounts of money out there, the drug companies are making a killing off of all the new drugs they are constantly advertising. Yes healthcare is a fundamental right for the rich especially the elite, but it’s a whole different ballgame for the poor. Which I find very disturbing because to me I feel everyone is equal and everyone should have the same options available to them, especially when it comes to healthcare. All anyone really has is their health. You could have all the money in the world but if you’re too sick to enjoy it, then the money really means nothing it’s about as worthless as the piece of paper that it really is. I know the world is a huge diverse place with many different races and classes of people, but one thing we all share in common is that we will all at one point in our lives experience some type of illness or have some type of accident which will lead us to the doctor or the hospital, and at that time we will need to have some type of insurance or cash to cover the expense. With this in mind it seems only right to allow every citizen of the United States of America the right to a healthcare plan which would allow them every privilege that President Obama has in his insurance package. I don’t understand the concept of only making sure the rich get specialty treatment and extra privileges. It seems to me that nobody is invincible from sickness or accidents so to me it only seems ethical to allow everyone equal opportunities when dealing with healthcare. If I need a heart transplant and I make 5 dollars and hour and have 3 kids I should be able to get a heart just as fast as John who is a millionaire and can pay off doctors who can possibly put him on a special list, a list for the elite or something. With healthcare being run for profit things like this will continue to go on. This isn’t fair I think we need a healthcare plan that doesn’t revolve around money.
I believe healthcare is a fundamental right that everyone should be able to afford. Whether you have the sniffles or a serious illness you shouldn’t have to worry about how you are going to afford it. For instance, how many times have someone had a little sore throat or cough and made the decision not to go to the doctor because they couldn’t afford the doctor bill, or because they didn’t want to deal with the high deductibles or couldn’t afford the prescription, and now that sore throat turns into strep and the cough turns into pneumonia and before you know it, you are in the hospital and have a outrageous medical bill. In countries like Great Britain, they have bonuses for keeping people healthy and preventive medicine and care. Instead of like here in the United States, where people are paying a fortune for healthcare and still filing bankruptcy and destroying there credit. There are a lot of choices out there for healthcare, but they are still so expensive. We personal had to go to a major medical insurance that we now have no co-pay, no prescription and to keep our monthly premium affordable we had to go to a higher deductible. We still can say we have insurance, but our deductible is so high that it still worries me if something were to happen we still would have a huge medical bill. There has to be some control on what these doctors and hospitals charge, medical billing has escalated way out of control. I have never understood why they couldn’t regulate and put a cap on what is being charge for even just a simple doctor’s visit. Here in the United States, the riches country in the world we all should be living a happy, healthy life and not having to worry about not getting sick.
Healthcare should be for everyone. People are not in control of whether or not they get sick, or break a bone, or get an infection, these things do not choose who it wants to encounter why is it that people in charge of healthcare (insurance) get to choose who gets to be treated (who get to have insurance) or not. I know procedures and medicines are extremely expensive and many people cannot afford to be without these things. How will they be able to live if they are not able to afford blood transfusions and heart medications (just a couple of things) with out insurance? There are different kinds of situations but now it is pretty much mandatory to have insurance unless you’re well off “RICH”. With our economy, being the way it is many people have had to cut back on many things and that includes insurance as well. Doctors, nurses, lawyers, etc… paid to go to school and learn the things they did and they deserve to be paid for their services insurance companies make sure that happens. Insurance should be available for everyone so that in the event something extreme does happen they will be able to afford it. Until all people are able to afford it we will have these issues it just can’t be free but it can’t be so expensive that we spend our whole lives trying to pay the bills. Healthcare should be equal to all people.
As harsh and inhumane that it may sound I believe healthcare is considered a privilege and not a right. The United States is a country that maintains several different class systems for its citizens. Financial worth and status determines not only the amount and type of healthcare you are entitled to and receive but the type of shelter you live in, the type of transportation you have, and the amount of food you eat. The founding principles of the United States are that we are afforded the opportunity to pursue such liberties. What makes this difficult to determine if healthcare is a right or privilege is that the United States is a wealthy capitalistic country which has the potential for improving the quality and quantity of life for many. Just as the United States government implemented the right to an education, the United States has the capacity to implement universal health care. However in implementing such a right it would be at the expense of others. I believe that I should not bare the expense for everyone in our country to have healthcare coverage. The Declaration of Independence is considered one of the fundamental documents of establishing the freedoms and rights we holdfast to. The distinguishing characteristics of the rights proclaimed in the Declaration Of Independence is that all rights were constituted as individual rights and not at the expense of another human being such as your right to pursue life and happiness, or your individual right for freedom or to worship God. All these God-given rights for each and every one of us may be held and enjoyed at no expense or loss to any other person. Just as it is our right to pursue a life and happiness, it is up to each an every one of us to work and acquire what financial stability we can afford to purchase a home for shelter, purchase food for nourishment and health, and pursue a higher level of education. If healthcare was meant to be a basic human right what about a person’s right to food? Is food not a basic human right? Living in the United States there are millions of adults and children who go to sleep hungry or wake up hungry. There are many adults who for go a meal so that they can feed their children. Is food not a basic human right yet the government is not implementing a strategy to feed every person in the United States. Food in essence is considered a privilege that one must work to obtain and the amount of money you make determines the amount of food you will purchase. The government does have programs to provide assistance to those who can’t afford food; such is the case that they have provided assistance with healthcare for children and the elderly through the form of Medicare and Medicaid. However one must be aware that the government is dictating the amount and type of treatment they receive. So these individuals are receiving healthcare but is it truly a right? They have no control or say over their treatment or coverage. It is being mandated by the government. The government has implemented programs such as every child has the right to an education and healthcare for children and the elderly. These programs have been at the expenses of every individual in the form of taxes they pay the government. However, many of us still have the choice of medical coverage and treatment. This is still an individual right for many of us. Yes your financial worth determines the amount of treatment and type of treatment you receive during an illness but it is still your choice, therefore it is your ability to afford such a privilege. It is not being mandated or governed by another or at the expense or loss of another person. In a perfect world, it would be great for every one to have the ability to not have to worry about an illness or the effects that it may have on their financial stability, but for the government to take over and dictated what treatment we may receive or how many times I am allowed to see the doctor, this is a right I am not willing to give up and rather it be a privilege that I maintain.
Healthcare should be a fundamental right. Healthcare is in fact a fundamental right in most other countries, not being the U.S. Here in the U.S., healthcare is more of a privilege, since millions of Americans do not have access to healthcare. I would think living in America, we would be way ahead of these healthcare problems since we are one of the richest nations in the world. Japan having way more people, has a better healthcare system where they do see it as a fundamental right to have healthcare. Health is the most important concern for people, being healthy is the number one priority. How can people be denied healthcare because they are poor or illegal. We can all agree that any disease or health problem occurs in anybody at anytime, it does not discriminate against sex, race, or where you live. Healthcare should be a right to anybody who is in need, because it is fundamental, and I'm sure we all relate in opinion that it is just something we must have to survive and live a long healthy life. Just how the U.S. is known for being the country of "opportunity", it should also be known for having a good healthcare system that is available for anybody who needs it.

I feel that healthcare is a fundamental right that every human being should have. In the U.S.A we treat healthcare as if it a privilege and not right due to the healthcare system that we have establish. Our healthcare system is base on profit; so doctors, hospitals, pharmacies, insurance companies are all out for themselves and not the wellbeing of the patient. In the USA we believe that no child should go without an education but on the other hand we feel that they don’t need healthcare. I don’t understand how we can be one of the riches countries and not care about the health of our people. About a year ago I became very ill and was in the hospital for about three weeks, in those three weeks I accumulate a bill of more then $200,000.00 in which the insurance company only covered part of the bill. At this point I may have to fill for bankruptcy due to the fact that I‘m unable to pay these outrageous bills. Now I’m afraid to become ill due to the fact that my credit is in disarray as million Americans also feel the same. I don’t think it right to fear going to the doctor or not having the opportune to go the doctor, something got to change with our healthcare. We as the one of the riches countries need to reevaluate our system so that our fundamental rights are met
I believe that healthcare is a fundamental right and its not treated that way. Why shouldnt we have the right to be provided with what we need to have a healthy life? I think some sort of health care system to where anyone can afford the basic healthcare needs to be created that will work for both the patients and the doctors. Like Auto insurance, there are many policies that cover the basic insurance you need and aren't ridiculously expensive and we have to show proof that we have it other wise we cant drive. Not that we need to provide we have health insurance other wise we cant live, but why is auto insurance so enforced and health care isn't? I see it as you either have to be making a great money to afford good health insurance or you have to be jobless to try to get government funded health care. What about the people in between who dont make enough money to afford a good health insurance plan but cant afford to be without a job? Do they not matter? Everyone should have the right to good healthcare, i dont think it should ever be viewed as a privilege.
Health care is a fundamental right that everyone should have. Every person has the right to live and receive health care for a healthy life. Health care is based on fundamentals of making money and has turned in to money making institutions. These fundamentals should be focused solely on the health of people instead of dollar values. In America former president Bush altered education standards for children in the 2001, “No child left behind” act that gives every child a right to education. The same focus should be incorporated into healthcare. It should be an understood right, not a privilege for every person. Currently, the dollar value of a person’s health is the main focus of the system. Reform should be made to consider healthcare as a moral right not just for the privileged few. When America sends money, food, and soldiers to other countries to help "reform", issues like healthcare in our own country arise. America makes sure people in other countries have a right to healthcare without realizing how many of our own go without.
Healthcare is no doubt something that every person should have an opportunity to utilize, however making it mandatory may not be the best option. A few people have compared it to auto insurance, which I don’t think is a valid comparison. If somebody gets sick and can’t afford a doctor visit and dies of pneumonia, they do not run the risk of causing a financial or health liability for another person. A person decides to crash their car without insurance, and they very well run the risk of injuring another person, car insurance should be mandated due to the potential risk to other members of society if one chooses to go without. Health insurance should be left to personal choice. There are laws and rules set into place in this country that mandate that every person receives healthcare in regards to emergency/life saving procedures regardless of their status as insured or not. Some illnesses will require the latest technology and treatments to attempt to cure, and quite frankly this research and implementation of such extensive and complicated care plans is expensive. There are only a handful of physicians, biologists, chemists etc., that are able to do the work that brings about the latest life saving technologies. There is of course a very high demand for their services and the nature of their work (allowing only so few to have the minds and means to do it) means that in a capitalist system that it will be costly.
There has not been one instance in the ER that I’ve been employed at in the last 2 years that any single person has been sent away without care or received less than the best care we can provide due to not having insurance. The workers and people involved directly in patient care are unable to even ask about insurance status. I do believe that healthcare is indeed a fundamental privilege that is extended to all human beings. We need to understand in this society everybody gets treated. Our emergency rooms are full of people with minor illnesses that could easily solved with a day on the couch, but they still get the chest x-ray, CBC, BMP and sent on home with a prescription (I speculate this is driven by the emphasis administration places on pt satisfaction, despite the small % of pt population that fills them out…mostly the angry..feel free to look at apartment reviews for reference). The majority of the people that I deal with are on government paid plans and treat the ER as a primary physician’s office and never take advantage of the resources that are given. In this respect I feel that healthcare is treated as a right that people take advantage of. The fairness of the system breaks down when people get truly sick and require long hospital stays and many specialist services. Of course this is going to be more expensive and the hospitals are less able to use charity funds to cover these costs when they are largely spent on the sniffles.
I believe that with the state our economy is in that healthcare is a fundamental right because you practically can’t survive without it you’ll either go broke or be in debt for the rest of your life either way you are paying monthly or weekly.
The definition of a privilege is defined as a right, immunity, or benefit enjoyed only by a person beyond the advantages of most. Now healthcare relates to none of these words that define privileged. Sure healthcare is a right but it doesn’t make you immune because everyone has to have it or acquired later on in life when you get a job or perhaps given to you by your parents. Is it a benefit? Yes sometimes in certain situations it is especially when you have that huge hospital bill that mysteriously disappears. However, it is a huge no when you don’t have the sufficient insurance to cover the entire bill and you get stuck with the leftovers.
A fundamental right is defined as a right that is considered by a court to be explicitly or implicitly expressed in a constitution. Now healthcare according to the Supreme Court is granted to the citizens of the United States by the Supreme Court and is like I’ve said before a basic necessity you need to survive. Our economy thrives on the fact that our healthcare system is supposed to be supreme considering that we are the richest country in America. Doctors, insurance companies, and private companies thrive off of our healthcare system.
It is not considered a privilege because the average joe doesn’t benefit from it only the people behind it. I would consider it to be a definite fundamental right because it is needed and is not necessarily given to you by anyone as some sort of award. It is needed to prevent debt or bankruptcy and also to make sure you are healthy because most doctors won’t even bother wasting their time with you if you don’t have it.
Therefore I think that healthcare is a fundamental right rather than a privilege.
I believe that healthcare is a fundamental right. We as human beings have the right to lead healthy, happy lives. Unfortunately, in the United Sates we treat health care as a privilege, which only those with money should be allowed to receive it. You would think that since America is one of the wealthiest countries in the world, we would be better at providing for our people. Take the Japanese for instance, no one ever complains about not being able to afford health care. A one night stay in a hospital with your own room is 90 yen! Here in the states if you stayed in the hospital for one night your hospital bill would be some where between 300 to 600 dollars, depending on the reason for the stay. In other countries like Japan, Germany and Great Britain health insurance companies actually fight for the public’s business, unlike in the United States. Here we have to go out and find insurance that will not only cover us adequately, but that we can afford. Healthcare should be something that everyone receives, no one should have to suffer because they can not afford a simple doctors visit. I could not even imagine how horrible it would be to be sick and need medicine, but not be able to go to the doctor because I could not afford the visit itself, let alone the medicine that would be prescribed. Healthcare is something so many that have it take for granted, could you imagine having something as small as a cavity, and you would not be able to go the dentist to get it fixed because you could not afford the procedure. So instead you get to suffer, this is the unfortunate truth for thousands of Americans. In the end, Healthcare is not something that should be given to those who can afford it, it should be evenly distributed throughout our country from the poor to the rich, no one should be forced to suffer because they cannot afford healthcare.
It is my belief that healthcare is a fundamental right because it is essential to survive. In some cases, people have never gone to the doctor because they have never been ill or injured. But that is probably a very, very small percentage of the United States and probably globally. I would say that most people have been ill or injured at some point in their life. It may not be serious, but without treatment, an illness or injury can put your life at risk. In 2002, the IOM(Institute of Medicine) did some research on people with access to health and people not having access in the United States. It was recorded that approximately 18,000 adults die each year in the United States because they are not insured meaning they cannot get proper healthcare. Even though this information is aged, I have no doubt that this number is still roughly the same or higher due to the recession and other events. Being uninsured raises the risk of dying if you are mentally ill, poor, a minority, chronically sick, etc. It is sad to think that we live in a world where one nine letter word determines if you live or die. That is why I believe healthcare is a fundamental right. Whether you are rich or poor, mentally ill or stable, majority or minority, we are all human beings that have the right to essentials in order to survive. When it comes to healthcare, there should be no discrimination. If you have insurance or are uninsured, you do not have to worry about if you will see tomorrow because you know, no matter what, a slight cough or serious cancer, you know you can go somewhere to be treated. That is a fundamental right that everyone should have.
I believe that health care is a fundamental right to have. I truly believe that here in the U.S. people use it to make outrageously big profit. In the other hand right now it is seem more like a privilege. I say that because only some people advance from health care right now. But what about the poor, just because they can’t be economically well they don’t deserve to get sick or even die. There has shown studies that people without health care are the ones that get sicker from stressing that they don’t have health care and they are the most common to get sick and in the end having them to go to the emergency room and getting really costly bills. I truly think that people shouldn’t be stressing about this problem. Having to say that we live in one of the richest countries in the world it should be in a person’s less worries. But that is not the case the poor are not living a healthy lifestyle this being one of the reasons. Everyone should have a right to live and have a healthy life and have healthy families. I believe that by having health care in a way, we don’t face the problem of going bankrupt and having to pay bills for years. Overall, we live in a country with a lot of rights, rights for the well being of the people and I believe that health care is the “well-being” of all people.
I believe that it is every persons fundamental right to health care. Why? I personally have had to experience being without health care insurance when we moved here from L.A. My husband and I had only been married a year and failed to update his medical insurance options and that left me and my sons without health coverage for the entire first year we lived here in AZ. I remember thinking I hope none of us gets sick or hurt because we aren't going to be able to go to the doctor or hospital without it costing us a fortune. Well that possibility turned into reality in late November of 2003. My youngest son came down with a cold and for the first 3 days I kept him home and tried to keep him well hydrated, but that didn't work. He eventually wound up in the emergency room and I was presented with a bill for about $4000. I couldn't believe that an 8 hour visit to the emergency room could cost so much and then I had no clue how we were even going to pay the bill. Part of my keeping my son home without consulting the doctor initially was because I was hoping he would get better before getting worse to avoid getting that type of bill. It is sad to know that you have to risk your child's life or your own just to make sure you don't go into debt. I remember thinking how unfair it is to not be able to just take my kids or myself to the doctor when I needed to without having to think about the cost of co-pays and residual bills that insurance would not cover. Even today, I will not go to the doctor because my co-pay is $30 for my regular doctor and $45 for a specialist...these are costs that I can't afford to pay due to being unemployed for almost the last year. I like the other countries and how people who are covered under NHS don't have to think like me about co-pays and is my pain really worth the trip to the doctor this time or should I just ignore what's going on with my body. I have a prescription that is about to run out within the next 5 days and it burns me to know that I don't have the money to get a refill and it burns me even more knowing that I have to pay $50 just to get it filled. That is on the cheap side of my prescriptions. So, people like me should not have to choose between their health or eating for the next week because that co-pay could feed a family for a week or put gas in someone's car to continue to work. I have never understood why the U.S. doesn't regulate the insurance companies and the pharmaceutical companies from making these huge profits off people. Whether you are rich or poor, no one should have to go without preventative care or emergency care or medications that can keep someone living longer just because they don't have health care coverage. The U.S. should have been the country to set the standards across the world for health care for all, but we have failed miserably on that front. We are too rich a country to allow for our own fellow Americans to be without the fundamental right to access awesome health care and at no charge to us.
To answer this question perhaps it would be helpful to define the words privilege and right. A privilege is a restricted right or benefit: an advantage, right, or benefit that is not available to everyone and usually only enjoyed by the elite. A right is an entitlement: a justified claim or entitlement. According to the definitions above, I would have to say healthcare is a right and not a privilege and history proves this position.
In 1965 President Lyndon Johnson decided to create a “Great Society” in this great society he included the Medicare Act and the Medicaid Act to provide the elderly, rich and poor with healthcare. President Johnson did this because studies had shown that older people used hospitals three times more than other Americans, but most only had an income half as large, Medicare only took care of the rich so the Medicaid Act was passed to insure the poor elderly people. Also the Federal government pay’s for the medical expenses of those on welfare or those too poor to afford healthcare . Furthermore, while our troops are serving in the military health care for them and their dependents is free, after they end their tour of duty by retiring or even after a two year tour that veteran receives free medical treatment through the VA. For years according to our government and I agree, healthcare has been treated as a fundamental right not a privilege. Now it’s time for this right to be extended to the middle class, upper middle class and the rich because we’re all United States citizens, not just a select few. Moreover, if healthcare is treated as a privilege this would force physicians’ all over the country to violate the Hippocratic Oath, to do no harm because they would be forced to deny treatment to the uninsured.
I think it’s very vague to call healthcare a fundamental right or a privilege. It could be a little bit of both, or neither. Ideally, healthcare should be a right for every person in the world, but that is just impossible, unthinkable. Ok, then it should be a fundamental right for every person in the US, being this a first world country and definitely one of the most powerful nations in the world with desires of utopian societies; every person in these societies should have the right to proper healthcare without having to worry about ending up bankrupted, submerged in debts. If we were to call healthcare a privilege we could be mistaken. Definitely it is the wealthy people that enjoy of these services without worrying much about the medical bills, but I would be lying if I said that they are the only ones that get it. If you work for healthcare and are willing to pay for it you can have it. The issue is that most people are afraid of getting sick or being injured because of the extremely high costs for some treatments or procedures that go from a common flu to a broken bone. For instance, not long a go I went to play soccer with my friend who took a wrong step and hurt his lateral ankle. I told him to massage it and put some ice on it before it got swollen. He didn’t do it and had a sprained ankle the next day. He went to have it checked and received a bill of around $1,200 the next week. It is unbelievably pricey to get injured in the US compared to other first world countries such as Japan or Germany. Although it is an excellent idea to have healthcare for everybody we have to measures the pros and cons, and personally I find it very difficult for doctors and specialists to sacrifice part of their earnings to lower treatments costs. Such a shame for this country, to put so much effort and money in other areas that don't benefit its own people.
I believe that health care is a fundamental right. Many fundamental rights are also more widely considered to be human rights, the classification of a right as fundamental determine the carefully controlled circumstances for which the United States government (and the different state governments) can impose limitations on these rights.
I believe that our government is unfairly imposing limitations simply by allowing our system to discriminate healthcare services based on economic status. Those that have excess means to provide for their health can do so. Those that live in poverty and meet the qualifications of the government can receive optimal care for free or at an extremely low monthly fee. (AZ kids care is as low as $10.00 a month per family member with no co-pay or out of pocket cost) However we are not taking care of the middle class families. Our middle class citizens are the ones that keep our communities running. They work at our supermarkets, schools, and customer service. Yet our government is not helping these families reasonably afford health insurance. Our healthcare system has not truly worked for a long time. We have far too many people in excess debt do to necessary medical treatment.
Our healthcare is important to our survival, so isn't it fair to say that in a society where only the rich and the poor have access to optimal healthcare, the middle class is a dying breed? If this statement is true, then what will come of our communities, when the middle class is unable to fulfill their important role. We are doing an extreeme diservice if changes are not made.
From my opinion, I truly believe that healthcare should be a fundamental right for each person in the United States. Every person has the right to live a happy and healthy life. However, that fundamental right is devalued in the U.S. because healthcare in our country is a privilege. More than 47 million people in the U.S. do not have insurance. However, our country spent 1/6 of its GDP on healthcare. It is much more than any industrialized country in the world. The U.S. has “No Child Left Behind Act of 2001” to ensure that every student has the right to receive the standards-based education, but the government does not have any law that ensure every person can get access to healthcare. The government spent a lot of money on education and economy, but it forgot the fundamental right that a human being should have. That is the right to get access to healthcare. Every person has the right to life. The reason healthcare is a fundamental right is because access to healthcare may make the difference between life and death. If a person has an illness and does not get any treatment, that illness may become worse and eventually kill the person. The free access to healthcare also affects quality of life. Good health is a fundamental right for each person because without good health we cannot do anything to enjoy our lives.
Another reason healthcare should be a right is because every person has his or her own worth. If healthcare is a privilege for those who can afford it, this implies that the wealthy have greater value than the poor; this is unethical. I also believe that each person in the U.S. cannot go bankrupt because he or she does not have insurance when he or she is sick. We can all imagine that if someone is diagnosed with breast cancer, she may be under a lot of stress. She may undergo chemotherapy and many invasive treatments and recover. However, after the recovery, she finds out that she owes the hospital a huge amount of money. Many similar cases are happening in the U.S. everyday. The sick person is so desperate because of the illness, but after that person just overcomes the illness, he or she needs to fight with a huge financial problem. It is really ridiculous. Many problems in the U.S. healthcare system may be created from the free market policy. Many insurance companies do not allow a person with pre-existing conditions to buy insurance. These insurance companies just want to make a profit and are not concerned about anything else. I think the government should have regulation to control the insurance companies.
Not only is making healthcare a right rather than a privilege an idea that is ethical, it is also financially pragmatic. Universal healthcare is good for everyone. It is good for the patient, the hospital, and the government. We have to consider cost of preventive care vs. cost of treating the illness conclusion. For instance, if a person does not have any insurance and goes to the hospital for a check-up, he or she may pay a lot of money for that. If that person does not have money, he or she cannot receive any service from that hospital. That same person may have a heart attack a couple months later and be taken to that hospital for treatment. This time the hospital cannot refuse the treatment even though that person does not have any insurance. The hospital may spend a lot of money out of pocket to pay for the treatment because the patient does not have any money. The hospital may ask the government to pay part of the treatment. If that person received the early check-up, he or she may not have heart attack later. Therefore, I believe that healthcare should be a fundamental right rather than a privilege. If healthcare is a privilege, the government devalues the basic rights of each citizen in the United States.
I feel healthcare is a fundamental right not a privilege. This is just one of the many ways in which the United States government keeps the rich, rich and the poor, poor. Healthcare in America is clearly a business for profit and is not really intended to find the most cost effective ways that will insure that all Americans are and remain healthy. It’s ridiculous some Medicare and Medicaid patients can’t even afford the prescriptions that they need to stay alive. While the big pharmaceutical companies keep pushing drugs and making big profits off of them. I can’t understand, why then is it so hard for the less financially fortunate people to afford their prescriptions. There are clearly huge amounts of money out there, the drug companies are making a killing off of all the new drugs they are constantly advertising. Yes healthcare is a fundamental right for the rich especially the elite, but it’s a whole different ballgame for the poor. Which I find very disturbing because to me I feel everyone is equal and everyone should have the same options available to them, especially when it comes to healthcare. All anyone really has is their health. You could have all the money in the world but if you’re too sick to enjoy it, then the money really means nothing it’s about as worthless as the piece of paper that it really is.
I know the world is a huge diverse place with many different races and classes of people, but one thing we all share in common is that we will all at one point in our lives experience some type of illness or have some type of accident which will lead us to the doctor or the hospital, and at that time we will need to have some type of insurance or cash to cover the expense. With this in mind it seems only right to allow every citizen of the United States of America the right to a healthcare plan which would allow them every privilege that President Obama has in his insurance package. I don’t understand the concept of only making sure the rich get specialty treatment and extra privileges. It seems to me that nobody is invincible from sickness or accidents so to me it only seems ethical to allow everyone equal opportunities when dealing with healthcare. If I need a heart transplant and I make 5 dollars and hour and have 3 kids I should be able to get a heart just as fast as John who is a millionaire and can pay off doctors who can possibly put him on a special list, a list for the elite or something. With healthcare being run for profit things like this will continue to go on. This isn’t fair I think we need a healthcare plan that doesn’t revolve around money.
I believe healthcare is a fundamental right that everyone should be able to afford. Whether you have the sniffles or a serious illness you shouldn’t have to worry about how you are going to afford it. For instance, how many times have someone had a little sore throat or cough and made the decision not to go to the doctor because they couldn’t afford the doctor bill, or because they didn’t want to deal with the high deductibles or couldn’t afford the prescription, and now that sore throat turns into strep and the cough turns into pneumonia and before you know it, you are in the hospital and have a outrageous medical bill.
In countries like Great Britain, they have bonuses for keeping people healthy and preventive medicine and care. Instead of like here in the United States, where people are paying a fortune for healthcare and still filing bankruptcy and destroying there credit. There are a lot of choices out there for healthcare, but they are still so expensive. We personal had to go to a major medical insurance that we now have no co-pay, no prescription and to keep our monthly premium affordable we had to go to a higher deductible. We still can say we have insurance, but our deductible is so high that it still worries me if something were to happen we still would have a huge medical bill. There has to be some control on what these doctors and hospitals charge, medical billing has escalated way out of control. I have never understood why they couldn’t regulate and put a cap on what is being charge for even just a simple doctor’s visit. Here in the United States, the riches country in the world we all should be living a happy, healthy life and not having to worry about not getting sick.
Healthcare should be for everyone. People are not in control of whether or not they get sick, or break a bone, or get an infection, these things do not choose who it wants to encounter why is it that people in charge of healthcare (insurance) get to choose who gets to be treated (who get to have insurance) or not. I know procedures and medicines are extremely expensive and many people cannot afford to be without these things. How will they be able to live if they are not able to afford blood transfusions and heart medications (just a couple of things) with out insurance? There are different kinds of situations but now it is pretty much mandatory to have insurance unless you’re well off “RICH”. With our economy, being the way it is many people have had to cut back on many things and that includes insurance as well. Doctors, nurses, lawyers, etc… paid to go to school and learn the things they did and they deserve to be paid for their services insurance companies make sure that happens. Insurance should be available for everyone so that in the event something extreme does happen they will be able to afford it. Until all people are able to afford it we will have these issues it just can’t be free but it can’t be so expensive that we spend our whole lives trying to pay the bills. Healthcare should be equal to all people.
As harsh and inhumane that it may sound I believe healthcare is considered a privilege and not a right. The United States is a country that maintains several different class systems for its citizens. Financial worth and status determines not only the amount and type of healthcare you are entitled to and receive but the type of shelter you live in, the type of transportation you have, and the amount of food you eat. The founding principles of the United States are that we are afforded the opportunity to pursue such liberties. What makes this difficult to determine if healthcare is a right or privilege is that the United States is a wealthy capitalistic country which has the potential for improving the quality and quantity of life for many. Just as the United States government implemented the right to an education, the United States has the capacity to implement universal health care. However in implementing such a right it would be at the expense of others. I believe that I should not bare the expense for everyone in our country to have healthcare coverage.
The Declaration of Independence is considered one of the fundamental documents of establishing the freedoms and rights we holdfast to. The distinguishing characteristics of the rights proclaimed in the Declaration Of Independence is that all rights were constituted as individual rights and not at the expense of another human being such as your right to pursue life and happiness, or your individual right for freedom or to worship God. All these God-given rights for each and every one of us may be held and enjoyed at no expense or loss to any other person. Just as it is our right to pursue a life and happiness, it is up to each an every one of us to work and acquire what financial stability we can afford to purchase a home for shelter, purchase food for nourishment and health, and pursue a higher level of education.
If healthcare was meant to be a basic human right what about a person’s right to food? Is food not a basic human right? Living in the United States there are millions of adults and children who go to sleep hungry or wake up hungry. There are many adults who for go a meal so that they can feed their children. Is food not a basic human right yet the government is not implementing a strategy to feed every person in the United States. Food in essence is considered a privilege that one must work to obtain and the amount of money you make determines the amount of food you will purchase.
The government does have programs to provide assistance to those who can’t afford food; such is the case that they have provided assistance with healthcare for children and the elderly through the form of Medicare and Medicaid. However one must be aware that the government is dictating the amount and type of treatment they receive. So these individuals are receiving healthcare but is it truly a right? They have no control or say over their treatment or coverage. It is being mandated by the government. The government has implemented programs such as every child has the right to an education and healthcare for children and the elderly. These programs have been at the expenses of every individual in the form of taxes they pay the government. However, many of us still have the choice of medical coverage and treatment. This is still an individual right for many of us. Yes your financial worth determines the amount of treatment and type of treatment you receive during an illness but it is still your choice, therefore it is your ability to afford such a privilege. It is not being mandated or governed by another or at the expense or loss of another person.
In a perfect world, it would be great for every one to have the ability to not have to worry about an illness or the effects that it may have on their financial stability, but for the government to take over and dictated what treatment we may receive or how many times I am allowed to see the doctor, this is a right I am not willing to give up and rather it be a privilege that I maintain.
Healthcare should be a fundamental right. Healthcare is in fact a fundamental right in most other countries, not being the U.S. Here in the U.S., healthcare is more of a privilege, since millions of Americans do not have access to healthcare. I would think living in America, we would be way ahead of these healthcare problems since we are one of the richest nations in the world. Japan having way more people, has a better healthcare system where they do see it as a fundamental right to have healthcare. Health is the most important concern for people, being healthy is the number one priority. How can people be denied healthcare because they are poor or illegal. We can all agree that any disease or health problem occurs in anybody at anytime, it does not discriminate against sex, race, or where you live. Healthcare should be a right to anybody who is in need, because it is fundamental, and I'm sure we all relate in opinion that it is just something we must have to survive and live a long healthy life. Just how the U.S. is known for being the country of "opportunity", it should also be known for having a good healthcare system that is available for anybody who needs it.
