Health care is a human right - even in America where i'm led to believe that you will receive life saving emergency treatment even if you cant afford it.

If you want to improve you understanding of this human rights issue then read: http://civilliberty.about.com/od/equalrights/f/Health-Care-H...

"international human rights law is unambiguous on the matter: Universal health care is a right, and the government must step in and provide it if the private sector fails to do so. If there are such things as human rights, under the international framework, then health care is definitely among them."
