Healthcare as a human right doesn’t mean enslavement of doctors. It means that no one should be deprived of basic care if they can’t afford it. The problem of course is that someone has to pay for it. If preventative care is accessible, people get less sick and don’t need to go to the emergency room for basic medical needs, which goes unpaid and drives up hospital costs for everyone else. So we either agree as a country to spread the risk around with a giant insurance pool, like we already do with Medicare, or we spread the cost of emergency care around, which is the more expensive and less efficient option.
