The Pursuit of Healthcare

In the United States, all people are constitutionally awarded the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. In the past few years, our political leaders have assailed these rights in the name of a “War Against Terrorism,” and they have done little to establish the public’s assumed right to have even basic healthcare. This right should be undeniable, even if it is not promulgated in the Constitution of the United States of America or in the United Nations Charter. Most countries and the United Nations are redolent with healthcare agencies, but self-centered political agendas, poor funding, and pitiless protectionism too often thwart their good intentions and plans.
