Two Cents on Healthcare, Pre-Part 3

While I prepare part three of my healthcare series, I’d like to get some feedback on a question that’s come up more often than I expected:

Is access to comprehensive healthcare a right or a privilege (regardless of ability to pay)?

Let me know what you think.

IS it, or SHOULD it be? Under the current system, I think it is a privilege. It should be a right. I love your scenarios in Part II, which I've heard before, about it benefitting Joe and not really affecting us at all. A hard-working man like Joe has the right to not losing his life savings because he went and got cancer or was hit by a drunk driver - events completely out of his control.
