Do you consider healthcare a basic human right?

[Frank DeForrest]

No. No one is entitled to the labor of another.

As a healthcare worker, yes I do. And in the most developed nation on Earth, there's no excuse for it not to be guaranteed to everyone here.

Would you walk the walk, meaning, if Healthcare services were extended to folks not having it now, would you work extra hours for free to serve them? Your income would neither increase or decrease from the present.

It should be more of a right than education.

This thread needs a poll. Yes, it is - taxes should support it just like they support defense, education, roads, prisons, police, etc.

Yes, everyone should have some form of quality healthcare.

Why are all other developed nations giving their people healthcare, but not the U.S. ?

No. Living a healthy life; diet, exercise, not taking the various drugs, (liquid, botanical, pharmaceuticals), in excess. Is everyone's responsibility and civic duty, so as not to impose themselves on their fellow citizens.
