Rights and Rationing

I think the fundamental argument when it comes to right to healthcare is whether or not the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness includes that of healthcare. At the beginning of chapter six, the quote from senator Clinton P. Anderson indicates that healthcare and shelter should be included. I think that it is interesting to see that people want the poor to have these rights but when it actually comes time to take the tax dollars of the citizens and redistribute the money, people are hesitant to support these rights. I feel as if the right to be treated in the emergency room is very reasonable. Anything beyond that creates massive inefficiency and resentment to the poor.
