FALSE DEBATES

Debating if health care is a right or a privilege, a false debate, is like asking “is life a right or a privilege,” another false debate. Why a false debate? Because only the well are debating . Life is a divine gift, neither right nor privilege. As with life, so, too, are life’s incidents, life’s divine gifts, such as health, speech, debate. Many people who claim that life is a “right” loudly deny that health care is also a “right”. Many who claim that “life is not a right,” still claim that health care is a right not privilege. There are false debates going both ways, each implicitly denying both are divine gifts.
