Ethically no one has a right to anything, but also ethically everyone should bestow things like food, water, shelter, healthcare, love kindness etc. to one another.
Absolutely, assuming a baseline that is realistically below a first world country, let alone the richest country on earth. Realistically, healthy people are good for society. We live in a world where it’s not too uncommon to hear about lost money due to storms, road damage or closures, and other things that disrupt the lives of those who produce. Loss of efficiency equals loss of opportunity, revenue, profits, growth, etc. unhealthy people are less predictable, as far as availability, less efficient due to that loss of predictive work, and therefore less productive than they could be. Our baseline is so high that we make the oceans safe for commerce for the whole world. Our baseline is so high that we give other nations money to defend themselves. Our baseline is so high that a very large amount of the bleeding edge of the world’s innovation comes from here.
With a baseline like that, and given the actuality of what an unhealthy population means to a country, I disagree with the idea that no one has a right to health. We are all cogs in this wonderful machine. We are fools to not treat health as a right and upmost priority . It is short sighted, greedy, and cruel. With the ability to regulate the system we are continually kicking ourselves in the balls so that something around a few thousand people can get richer at the cost of individuals and the nation.
