You're right. I've called it the wrong thing. I wanted to refer to the right to health care, which is more appropriate to the discussion.

I do think we all have the right to health care. It has nothing to do with nature, but rather forms part of living in a modern society. As a society, as something separate from nature, we bestow these rights upon ourselves.

But you justified the "right to health care" by reference to the DHR "right to health and well-being".

And you're in good company. most socialists do the same.

WHY do you think "society" (whatever that is) can bestow any rights?

What if society bestows the right to be Jew-free?

Should the Jews all toddle off to Dachau?

The rights which form the basis of the United States government were not bestowed by society-not a single one.

The architects of the American system were crystal clear about the source of the rights they banded together to defend-and it wasn't "society".
