a tiny healthcare manifesto

Healthcare is not a right. 

Our rights are "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness", as laid out in the Declaration of Independence ...

But healthcare is a moral and ethical imperative. I can pull out a couple of verses from the Bible to support this view, if you're into that kind of thing. There is a reason for the Hippocratic Oath. 

And health is necessary to access all three things listed as rights in the Declaration of Independence.

So ...?

  1. If only a certain person who shall remain nameless--because I am repulsed when I type it--would get this. Sigh.

  2. Wow, yeah.

    "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness"

    America isn't great; nor it Trump.
