Add this to the Right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. All people have the RIGHT to Health Care. Equally, Rich or Poor.
An example, compare a rich person and a poor person in America. They both have the same cancer. The rich person gets the best treatment available and the poor person gets perhaps none. Now in America what do they have in common? Yes, the Declaration of Independence, yes the Constitution, yes the Right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. As some might say but for the Grace of God their positions in life might be reversed. The great idea of "Equal Right" applies to Health Care. You should have, we should have the Right of Equal Health Care.
Now the concept of Medicare is a concept of Equality. It is not free. My wife and I pay approximately $600 a month for Medicare and a MediGap Supplemental Policy. In 12 years we have never paid anything above our monthly cost. Now some people cannot afford $600 a month and they should have a subsidy. But in the end all Americans and actually in the whole world, all people should have the Right to Life, Liberty, the Pursuit of Happiness and Health Care.
