"Health care is not a human right" - sm Posted: Mar 11th, 2019 - 8:22 am In Reply to: Healthcare is a right - And this makes me sick
This is a 20-year old essay on this subject. I always wonder how various healthcare personnel would be forced into servitude under this assumption that it's a "right."
This states, in part, that "all rights possessed by an individual imply a duty on the part of others.... On whom does the duty to provide health care to all the world’s citizens fall? Is it a duty on individual doctors, or hospital authorities, or governments, or only rich governments? It is difficult to see how any provision of benefits can be termed a human right (as opposed to a legal entitlement) when to meet such a requirement would impose an intolerable burden on others."
