Is Health Care a Right or Privilege?

Few would argue against the notion that health care is a service most Americans need. After the rollout of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), one central question that came up for national debate was whether access to health care was a fundamental right or whether it was a privilege.

In a 1-2 page paper, written in APA format, address the following:

  • Explain at least three (3) of the most common reasons why all Americans don’t have access to health care in the United States even after the ACA.
  • Express your opinion about whether you think access to health care is a right or privilege. Explain your reasoning and provide references as needed to support your opinion.
