There is no "right" to Medical Care, real or otherwise.

And that is what the article says. I'm amazed you'd think mises.org would print anything else.

From the article "In exactly the same way, the right to medical care does not mean a right to medical care as such, but to the medical care one can buy from willing providers"

You have the right to all the medical care you can buy from willing providers. Got any complaints with that?

Oh, I freely admitted I hadn't read the article prior to my first posting. (Is it really true that all the "cool" kids on FR don't read the articles? Someone told me that once ;)

I later read the article, and was pleased to find that the article was indeed typical of the school of thought of the Ludwig Von Mises I thought I knew.

Nope. The complaint I would have is that so very few people seem to view medical services in that same light.
