It should be for every country but problem is that for a lot of countries leaders only care about themselves.No but it should be in a first world country.

I don't feel it's a right. I'm lean towards rights being something that you have and everyone has and shouldn't be taken away. Unfortunately, health isn't one of those things that everyone has.
I do believe that it's a necessary expenditure of a capitalist economy and a primary function of a democratic government. In short, if you have either of those things and not providing health care, you are doing it wrong and ultimately your economy or government will fail. Which to be honest, I believe people against universal healthcare are actively working towards the US failing in some way.
If that isn't enough, there is enough moral and biblical support for healthcare that makes denying it indefensible.

I mean I guess but this the kind of thing wealthier countries can provide them.

Something tells me everyone who says no is upper middle class or higher.

Being healthy is not a factor relevant to whether healthcare should be a right. Like being hideously stupid is not a factor relevant to, in principle, your right to an education.
Indeed. It's crazy to think there are countries where your taxes will pay for your bin to be collected but not your healthcare.being from the UK, absolutely
having to pay for healthcare is ridiculous, poor people shouldn't choose between eating dinner or seeking help
Like another guy earlier in the thread, I don't really believe in "rights".
Yep, I live in Scotland where prescriptions are free aswell so it's completely free at the point of use. That's the way it should be and IMO it's ridiculous you gotta pay for prescriptions in England even though it's only like £8. I couldn't even imagine being told to pay £8 for something I need to help me, let alone the thousands Americans can pay.Indeed. It's crazy to think there are countries where your taxes will pay for your bin to be collected but not your healthcare.
Of course it ...

Nothing too illuminating but a new article in the New Yorker.. really justs gives stories of people on both sides of the spectrum with some history thrown in
It should be.
Education should be also.
