should there be a legal right to healthcare in the U.S.? If so, what does that mean specifically with respect to affordability and availability? What does that mean with respect to payment and allocation of limited resources (experimental drugs or vital organs)?
There should be the legal right to healthcare everyone in US but the country legal system designed to deny,not support,the right to health. United states mostly focus on insurance system rather than health system
And it should be affordable with a cheaper or free of cost and easy facility for health insurance to every citizen and available in every location of area.
The meaning of respect to payment and allocated resources are "for the wellbeing of the patients during the time of scarcity and where chronically limited resources are experienced such as ICU beds, medications, solid organs for transplantation or in time of triage systems and pandemics" the medical professionals individually and collectively should advocate policies and procedures that allocate scarce healthcare resources fairly among patients. And use of experimental medicine with consent and choosing the subjects irrespective of poor, rich, caste, race, creed.
