Healthcare is different than health insurance now isn't it! There are days you may use your health insurance, but EVERYDAY you NEED food, water, shelter. Without proper food, water, or shelter you need more health care. Would you agree that if all people had proper food, water, and shelter? I'm pretty sure your son wouldn't have been born if you wife didn't have food to eat, water to drink, and shelter to protect her from the elements. Correct? Did your son not receive nutrition through the ambilical (spelling?) Cord? So I would say he needed food, water, and shelter first! Why aren't you concerned with providing children 3 square meals a day, shelter, water, juice, etc before giving them a "free" education? So its okay for everybody but hospitals to make a profit? Do people go bankrupt over shelter (house, utilities, maintenance)? How much do you spend on groceries s week? What if you could spend that on healthcare? How much is your mortgage? Utilities? If it was s "human right" you would have that money for other stuff. Or would you? What is the tax rate in the UK? Cost of living in the UK?
