First of all some people do think food is a right ! Second generally speaking all but the poorest can at least find some kind of food to purchase or get donated even if it's not perfect For healthcare it's totally different with treatments costing thousands of of dollars plus, doctor visits out of the question without insurance for many (and even with) and monopolies on drugs and treatments contributing to vastly higher prices in the US than many other countries. We may not have "death panels" but we definitely have insurance "no-men" aplenty (and high deductibles) to effectively deny people (especially the poor) decent care This article is pretty wrong IMO there is no example in the US of "free-market" care to compare anything to.
