Gore: Universal Health Care a 'Right'
In a setting reminiscent of a bored college student making a video in his dorm room, Gore is shown proclaiming that healthcare in America "ought to be a matter of right," addressing what he thinks to be an "immoral" healthcare situation.
Everyone should have access to health care, but to say universal coverage is a right is preposterous. Even so, the biggest problem in this country in terms of health isn't coverage, but instead behavior. And behavior is a personal choice, kind of like deciding whether or not to have health care coverage. I do think the health care system needs to be improved, but then again, we also need tort reform.
I just wonder how he expects the United States to fund universal health care and support the environmental policies he espouses.
