It was asked during the debate, but I think it is a good question for regular citizens. I would think in the world's richest country, healthcare is a
right.
Do you think healthcare is a privilege or a right

It should be regarded as a right. Unfortunately it's a privilege right now.

I think it is a right for anyone anywhere. I'm in Canada though, I'm used to being able to go to the doctor and not having to pay up front for it.

Right. Paying for healthcare with insurance is a bitch. I couldn't imagine having to do it without insurance.

I do not really like calling it either of those terms. More like a necessity o-O

I think I should be able to get health care. And starting in December I will not have it nor will I be able to afford the cost of it and I'm a broke
college student.

It is a right. At the moment, it's only a privilege, but it can be fixed. I'm VERY lucky and my parents are willing to pay for my insurance until I get
a stable job. Most other people in my situation aren't so lucky.

With as much as we pay in taxes it should be a right.

It's absolutely a right. I can't really get riled up about this right now. But, especially all the middle class Americans in the work force and their
children. Those with pre-existing conditions, yes. It costs more not to have universal health care than it does to have it.
