Why is health care not a right?

Why is it a right to bare arms, yet if you are wounded by a gun you don’t have the right to health care to save your life.

Why is it that conservatives fight for the rights of the unborn yet refuse to provide the right of health care for that same child after its birth?

Why are we turning our citizens away from taking life-saving medications because they do not have the money to pay for their medications?

Why are we forcing our seniors to cut their medications and take half doses because of the high cost of prescription drugs?

Why is socialized healthcare OK for seniors with Medicare and for veterans through the Veterans Administration, yet it is not OK to come up with some type of public option for the millions of hard-working Americans whose employers do not offer affordable health care insurance to their employees?

Why is it we can afford to kill people in foreign wars, but we cannot afford to save lives here at home?

Why do we hide our heads in the sands and deny that our health care system is broken?
