I keep seeing all sorts of rubbish about healthcare being a privilege and not a right. Of course this dribble comes from the savants at Fox news, Rush, and the nonsense e-mail forwards I get daily from my grandfather. It's rather telling that all the people saying that healthcare is a privilege are conveniently the same ones that would have no problem paying cash for doctors visits, but take full advantage of their employer-paid health insurance. I'd like to see how their opinions would change if they were suddenly poor and they or their children were sick, I'm sure then they would insist that they should receive all the treatment in the world. These people should watch Trading Places again, only imagine themselves as Dan Ackroid...they already detest the Eddie Murphy's of the world.
