"Health Care, Why Call it a "Right"?":

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/john-david-l...t_b_258188.html

Here is the intro:

After fifty years of growing government programs, health care costs continue to rise. The U.S. government now controls nearly half of all health care dollars, and the crisis is becoming acute. The plans we are seeing from Washington are not innovations, but rather extensions of the government interventions we have embraced for three generations.

But rather than assume that more government involvement is the answer, should we not at least consider that the source of the problem may be those very interventions? And, more deeply, should we not even consider that the reason for this decades-long pattern is not economic, but moral: the idea that people have a "right" to medical care?

Some of the creatures commenting on those op-eds are villains out of the pages of Atlas Shrugged. The ideological battle lines are exactly where Rand perceived them to be.
