Health care is a human right. How many times have you heard that said? It’s the leading mantra on the left right now, and they’re using that premise to try to force America to adopt European healthcare systems. For the sake of argument, let’s go ahead and assume that health care is in fact a human right.
Does that mean we need a single-payer system? If healthcare is a human right, wouldn’t that obligate us to use a system with the highest quality of care possible?
If so, then we have to stick with what the U.S. is doing. Hospital mortality rates are four times higher in other countries as compared to the U.S. When we say we have the highest quality of care, it’s a laughable contest.
Or, maybe, making health care a human right makes it inhumane to deny care to any person. That would mean that developing babies have the right to care. It would mean that children with rare genetic orders have the right to care (remember the UK’s denial of care for little Alfie Evans?). It would also mean that people who disagree with the left on political issues have the right to health care.
That last one is going to prove a real problem for the left. The UK just passed a law that will deny healthcare services to “bigots.” Yep. The nationalized healthcare system is now required by law to discriminate. And it’s up to their political ideology to decide who is racist.
This is not a drill. It’s not an exaggeration. You’ll see the proof in the video. Watch closely, because this is what the left really wants in America.
