Health Care Is Not a Right
John David Lewis (via RealClearPolitics.com) on the rising cost of health care: “Those who want to see an end to spiraling medical costs should challenge the premises behind the government interventions.”
Efforts to rush and pass health-care reform legislation are predicated on the idea that medical care is a “right.” It is not.
Lewis observes:
Health care is a service, which we all need, and none of us are better served by placing our lives and our doctors under coercive bureaucratic control.
