Health Care is NOT a Right

No human being has the right to health care, just like no human being has the 'right' to a job or the 'right' to an automobile or the 'right' to an iPod. Health care is a good. It is in limited supply. I want health care to be available to the most people at the lowest price, which is precisely why I oppose government interference in health care.
The way to make health care affordable is to allow it to be sold on the free market like a cell phone. Cell phones were at one time incredibly expensive but, as result of free market forces, cell phones are affordable for nearly all Americans. Why assume health care is different?
And don't try to tell me that health care in the US is currently free market -- the US government spends more on health care per capita than any other country in the world.
