ok this is borderline pit fodder, so i'm going to ask that we stay focused for this one:
I saw a Xcreet or w/e the other day that said something to the effect of "when it comes to healthcare...you either believe it is a human right, or you believe it is a privilege and if you get sick and can't afford to pay then you deserve to die, and there's no in between."
Now, if you want to discuss the merits of universal healthcare vs privatized healthcare there are probably a bunch of threads in the pit for that. What i'm thinking about is the "its either this or its that" aspect of that statement. I am not usually wont to deal in absolutes, and especially with a topic as complicated as healthcare it seems crazy that it could really boil down to either this or that...but i am having a hard time coming up with a third, secret thing it could be.
Is it fair to say when it comes to healthcare you either think its a human right, or you think its a privilege that not everybody deserves? I dunno, it really does kinda seem like its one or the other. but i am trying to keep an open mind so if there is a gray area in there please let me know.
