Health care is not a human right.
You may want to read Article 25.1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights before reconsidering that statement.
Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.

- qwph 18y agoThe UN is the worst institution we have for advancing international human rights, except for all the others.
- DanielBMarkham 18y agoYou should wash your mouth out with soap for misquoting that. The UN is a treaty body, meant for eliminating global conflict. That's it. It's not a global government. It has no representation from the masses, it has no balanced system of government, it has no executive to speak of. It's done a great job of preventing WWIII. Let's leave it at that.

- viggity 18y agoWhat if the US doesn't make it a right? What is the UN going to do? Write us some angry letters that threaten us with more angry letters? Fuck the UN and their bullshit. This nation was built on individual liberty and responsibility, not as a nanny state.
