Health Care Is A Right

Is health care a right,a privilege, or a responsibility?

I admire Barack Obama when he said health care is a right. I watched, after missing the first one, the presidential debate last week. It was aired on at least five national television channels.

I admire Obama, the democratic candidate, for standing up for the majority of people who are uninsured. People who are not really keen on national security, the war in Iraq or Afghanistan, and the collapsing market, can only relate to what affects them directly -- and those are gas prices, small wages, and definitely, health care.

It's about time we have a man in Washington who rallies that health care is a right and not a privilege. And if it is a responsibilty, then it is by the government.

If I applauded Sarah Palin after watching her acceptance speech for the nomination for GOP vice president, then Obama won me this one. No contest -- for the former is running for vice president while the latter is running for president.
