Doonesbury Say What?

"I think health care is a privilege. I wouldn't call it a right."
-- Sen. Jim DeMint

Health care, itself, isn't the issue: it's affordable access to it. I would be deeply screwed if I did not have health insurance: I could very well be unable to leave the house for risk of infection and might be living on antibiotics.

I say we change this guy's mind by taking away his privilege. After all, aren't privileges something awarded by a higher authority? And aren't we the ones in charge of congress through our electoral process?

Health care is neither a privilege or a right. It is a service to be bought and sold.
