Healthcare: A Priveledged Right

I had a really difficult time answering the question of whether I thought healthcare as a right or a privelege. The reason it was so difficult for me was because I didnt see it as either one, in fact I saw it as both. It is the right of every living being to be the best he/she/it can be in every possible. Every person has the right to be as healthy as they can be and be able to use every available resource in order to obtain the highest level of health as they can. No one person has the right to "play god." No one has the right to directly effect, positively or negatively, the well being of another. This is my basis on why I think healthcare is a right. Noone or no group of people have the right to directly effect another if it doesnt effect them in return, whether that be providing or witholding anything from one person over another. It should be equally available to everyone regardless of race, creed, gender, age, socio-economic class, etc. No outside variable should effect the bottom line that everyone has an equal right to be as healthy as they want or choose.
Now looking at Heath care along the lines of a privilege is done on a broader level. No one has the right to withhold or offer any resource that could lead to a persons, health, happiness, success and over all well being, Other themselves. Now that being said it is an absolute privilege to have the options. Many people within this country and many countries in general don't have the same resources, aid, support, information or funding that we as Americans, some more then others, and even within this country are privileged to a higher level of of care and health care then others are by no fault of their own. We could could most definitely have the right to the plethora of medical resources the Americans have because no one is preventing them from being able to use it but many countries dont have has much available period witch makes us so privileged. Though some countries have the ability to access the same resources the U.S does but due to a lack of financs are not privileged to have them readily available. We must not take advantage of our great right to be the best we can be because that it not something that everyone is as priveleged to.
