There is no "right" to Medical Care, real or otherwise. "Health Care" (which is confused with "Medical Treatment") is a service, nothing more, nothing less.

I don't know whether I'm going to read this story. I am very surprised to see something from Mises that would so badly miss the mark on "free men and free markets" (I love that phrase from Capitalist Pig) in the title of one of their articles. This is not the Ludwig Von Mises I knew. (Or, thought I knew)

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?
