Is health care a right to every U.S. citizen? My answer is yes. There are far too many people who go without much needed health care because they cannot afford it. I know many people who have lost all of their money trying to pay their medical bills or lost college funds. 

One of the biggest reasons I believe health care is a right is that I have been to treatment facilities for anxiety and have seen too many people thrown out of necessary treatment because insurance wouldn't pay for it. Because the insurance wouldn't pay for it, my friend's parents began to use her college fund to pay for treatment. She needed help but insurance didn't believe the OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) was an illness that interfered with daily life. 

I have another friend who needed treatment for her depression but her mother had cancer and insurance wouldn't pay for both. Her mother sacrificed herself for her daughter and now her mother is very sick and will leave my friend an orphan, as she lost her father when she was younger, within the next few months. 

Why do some people deserve treatment but others don't? Why is it that just because even if you have a job but your insurance coverage isn't great, do you not deserve the same treatment as another person?
