Healthcare should be considered a privilege because it is need not a right. In the Grover book, it says, "legitimate rights don't place demands on other people." (Dunn, 36) In that essay, Wayne Dunn is saying that by making healthcare a right, it would "ravage the rights of other people's goods and services."(Dunn, 36) People have worked hard for their healthcare. From the dorctors and nurses that went to school for years and still have to keep up with everything, to the school teacher who pays so much out of her check for it. By making it a right, it would br inflicting on the rights of those people that already have healthcare.
I do understand that some people can't afford healthcare. I do know that there are free clinics in most cities that they can go to, like the Baths of Caracalla, which was free. Healthcare is a hard topic to debate because of the moral aspect of it, but I still believe that it would take away rights of people that already have or provide healthcare.

I really enjoyed reading your blog. I took the other side of this debate and it was interesting to see the other side. Your references were a great help in your argument. Do what you like. Like what you do.
ReplyDeleteAndrea, good work integrating the readings to defend your position. Well done.
ReplyDeleteNice work Andrea. I think that the references you used really helped your argument, especially for people who are the opposing side. I'm interested in reading you next blog for healthcare!
