IS ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE A MORAL RIGHT

Kennedy (late US Senator, D-MA). However, there are other people such as Ben Shapiro (Editor-in-Chief of the Daily Wire) and Matt Canovi (the president of the American Defense Academy) who consider a health care as not a privilege or a moral right which should be enjoyed by all the people (Pence, 2010). Therefore, the debate of health care is a major concern, bearing in mind that the society is composed of people from all socioeconomic status, that is, both the rich and the poor. In my opinion, health care is a moral right should be entitled to all the people. Just like food, water and shelter, health care is a basic human right. In addition, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, published by UN, strengthens that every person has the right to good standard living for the well-being and health (Hamm, 20012).
