Simple question for all: Do you accept that health care is a basic human right?

Please answer "yes", "no", or "reject premise'.

If you don't mind, I'd also like to ask that you identify who you are supporting in the Democratic Primary.

I'm starting a completely separate thread to discuss the pro, cons of the position as well as why you might reject the premise of the question. The title of that thread is HCASR discussion linked here:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511310876

Thank you for your participation and civility.

I don't believe that, once we hit topics where there are limited resources, that they should simply be expended in 'first come first serve' fashion. So overall it's yes, except where it's impossible for it to be yes (at which point triage as necessary, obviously). I support Bernie Sanders.

Universal healthcare is pie-in-the-sky, apparently. But multi-billions in corporation subsidies? That's a-ok.
