I mean healthcare is definitely a human right, but there is always more we could be doing. That's a kind of arbitrary distinction that I don't think adds anything to the discussion here.
Basic human needs are basic human rights. I really do think it's as simple as that.
Healthcare is not a human right. It's a societal right granted to you by those around you.
Deep in that American politique, eh?
It's called philosophy. You should try it sometime. Understanding the worlds truths at a deeper level allows you to more precisely consolidate them into a unified opinion of things. Helps to be concise and rigorously authentic to their principles.
I'm not sure blasting adhoc justifications for what you feel is really philosophy, but if that's what we're doing... My mistake. Philosophy then. So tell me, Socrates, what is a human right?
