A Person's Right to Exist [View all]
Republicans call themselves "pro-life," refusing the mother's choice to carry a fetus even if it was created by a blood relative or rapist. Every person has a right to exist, so they say.
But when it comes to health care for living people, they would allow a person to die if he/she had not purchased insurance. They applauded that concept at one of the GOP debates. Isn't that depriving a person the right to exist? If the right to life applies to a fetus it should also be applicable to an existing person, rich or poor, with a pre-existing condition or not.
The availability of health care for the purpose of prolonging human life is a human right. It is not related to material possessions which are options for those who can afford to buy them. There is a reason that the US is the ONLY country in the world without uniform, low cost health care for all.
