Not all, maybe even not most americans see health care as a right.

It's not in the constitution/bill of rights.

It has never been a right, or seen as such by americans.

We have always been one sickness away from the poor house.

We are in better shape as a nation in regards to health care now than we have ever been.

Full health care for all would be establishing health care as a right, which many on the right oppose ideologically.

Those on the left see health care as a right, and collectivist health care as a good thing. Those on the right see individualism and personal responsibility as the way everything should be done.

Maybe instead of trying to pass a health care bill, we should instead get an amendment passed that establishes health care as a clearly defined right, and then the courts can handle it?

At any rate, the tactic to go after the right is what Obama has been using lately. That it's the moral thing, the christian thing, for our nation to do. The right cannot dispute that..
