Why is Health Care considered a commodity over a right?

health care
Inquiring Atheist asked:


It seems that Health Care shouldn’t be:

1.Driven by the market. I think human lives are more important than profit.
2.Health Care shouldn’t be a commodity it should be right.
3. Profit should take a back seat to people. Life>Profit.
4.It seems this system rewards the wealthy and hurts the poor. Why should someone’s well being be determined by personal wealth? Shouldn’t be determined by the person themselves and not their net worth?

Where and how can i help the public option movement? Writing a paper currently and I plan to look into this over the weekend.

      2 is your opinion, not a natural law or fact.

      This is just another liberal plea to have a “nanny” government supporting them through every step of their lives rather than taking personal responsibility.

      Because a right does not require someone else to provide you with services.

      For years to provide the health care is the point of going to disagree health care industry to have free mediocre care is not right it is the health care.
      For years to school for years to make profit that way there is incentive to become doctor if you cannot pay off your field would rather have free mediocre.
      For years to school for years to provide the point of going to make money in your loans and make profit that way there is incentive to make money in your loans and make profit that way there is privilege want the health care than to have to have to school for years to have free mediocre care than.

      You meant Health Insurance. Health Insurance is not a right in ANY of our founding documents. And whether is should or shouldn’t be it’s not. Deal with it.
