Considering the current events this thread has a political debate written all over it, so cut the bullshit.

In my opinion, it depends on which country you live in. If you live in a socialist country you may feel it should be a right that EVERYONE deserves the exact same health care.

I live in the United States where we have a market without economic intervention and regulation by the government except to regulate against force or fraud. I wish there could be a bit more regulation to keep insurance companies in check, but that's the extent of it. The current proposed health overhaul that is being force fed to us is a fucking joke and so are the idiot democrats that stand behind it.

Anyways, that being said, life isn't always fair here. It's not a right to have the best possible care that collectively would cost this country 10s of trillions if you can't afford it. Our country isn't founded on the idea that we excessively tax and exploit the successful to cater to the unsuccessful and poor. That's a concept called socialism.
