What is a right? That was one of the first questions that were addressed at this week’s table talk. A right is a principle of freedom. We also discussed the difference between rights and human rights. There is a clear difference between what a regular right is, and what a human right is. A regular right may be given by a government, like the right to bear arms, but a human right is a right that a person is to be afforded from birth. After the table talk I can agree that healthcare is a right that everyone deserves. One main argument against universal healthcare is that there are people who do not work and therefore freeload on others. There are always going to be people that work the system and get what they want without working for it, but there are many that do the work and deserve to have their health be a priority.
