Care not a right

When did health care become a right? I have always thought it was a responsibility. It doesn't seem like a right any more than owning a home or a boat or Jazz season tickets. All of these things make our lives more enjoyable, but we need to earn and pay for them ourselves.

If the federal government gets involved in health care, we might as well sign everything our children's children might earn over to the state.
