    Health is a human right. People should never have to choose between getting care they need & financial hardship or impoverishment

        @DrTedros this is a noble thought but how far should it go? What if e.g. a personalized cancer treatment costs a million euro?

        Fair question. WHO & OHCHR prepared a fact sheet to clarify the nature & normative content of R2H. Here is the link: http://www.ohchr.org/Documents/Publications/Factsheet31.pdf …

        I'd just like to point out that people are currently doing this because of Obamacare.

        Very sure health care has been available no matter if you could afford it or not. Those that chose not to get care were misinformed
