Written on a placard held by a protestor were the words, "Healthcare is a right!". My first thought was that of course it is. Food, shelter, education, to be treated with kindness and compassion... I don't understand why we humans have the need to deny others these things? If we have plenty, why do we argue about this? If we do not, why don't we struggle to share? Why do we create entire systems designed solely to deny these things to one another? Why are we divided along the lines of, "here, you need this" and "I have mine, get your own"?
