> Care in a life-threatening situation (cancer, stroke, heart attack) should be considered a human right ...
Health care can not be considered a fundamental right for a couple of reasons.
1. It requires taking more basic rights away from others.
2. If it is a fundamental right, then we would necessarily spend all of our money to preserve it. At no point could we decide to stop paying for care with no chance of success.
Additionally, you create perverse incentives to avoid preventive care which is probably orders of magnitude less money long term.
