Do you believe healthcare is a human right?

If universal healthcare were to take over the private health care cost would not go away but then need to be paid by the government, so who pays it doesn't matter that is the cost.

I'm not convinced that's true. We still have private healthcare in the UK; even though our health care is also free to everyone. People like to immediacy and convenience of private, and choose to pay for it, even when there is a free option. Private doesn't go away.

b)Technology spending is a vital part of health care and under universal health care many argument say that medical investments by the private sector will decrees slowing the pace on medical advancement. Money spent on technology and research are just as important as money spent on care giving.

While technology is important, don't you think the US spends (compared to everyone else) too much on technology? Most of the illnesses don't need the newest or 'state of the art' devices. What they do need is doctors, accessible and FREE to people. Technology doesn't trump that (lol).
