This brings us to recent politics. There has been an explosion of debate surrounding Congress’s attempt to reform health care. Despite what some would say, free health care is not a right. I’m sorry, but you do not have the right to have your neighbor buy health insurance for you. Depending on the bill that makes it to the president’s desk, you may soon be entitled to free health care, but that right does not exist. If that happens, then so be it. There is nothing inherently wrong with the government providing that service, but it is in no way required to do so. Not that access to health care should be limited. A case could be made that access to health care is a right, but free health care is another story/Jeffrey Reznicek, UI Argonaut. More here.

Question: Do you view health care in this country as a right or an entitlement?
