I don't believe healthcare is a right. But there are certain aspects of healthcare that are simply more efficiently provided by a single central entity. There are certain goods we desire as a society that the profit motive simply doesn't serve well, and many of these lie in healthcare.
You HAVE to accompany it with tort reform, though. There is no example in the world in which healthcare has been successfully socialized without a radically different malpractice system. And there are plenty of examples of failure. |

Is education for children a right?

It has a much better historical precedence than health care. Society in its normative process decided the work force that is educated is more productive and pays more taxes so it's important to give each child a basic form of education. Through the process, it would not have originally be named a right, but people probably use that language by virtue of positive law arising out of normative principles.

It is an unwise decision but society often makes unwise decisions.
