Welcome to our forum on the "Right to Health Care".
What is Our
Goal? A BROAD POPULAR UNDERSTANDING AND RESOUNDING DEMAND FOR OFFICIAL RECOGNITION OF THE
RIGHT TO HEALTH CARE FOR ALL AMERICANS.
|
What is the "Right
to Health Care"? - a critical concept as
the USA attempts to resolve the crisis of escalating health care costs and
the increasing racial disparities and generally failing accessibility of health
care. We feature philosophical debate, but our motivation is informed action, rather than academic debate.
|
Which Perspectives
do we Include? We present a wide range of opinions
here including that of opponents to the "Right to Health Care".
However, we intend for this to be an informed discussion which seriously
discusses all objections. It is not to provide space rambling which is ignorant of all history and precedents.
