Health Care
Human Agenda supports the United States moving into the 20th century, a century in which all industrial nations except the Untied States guaranteed universal health care coverage for its inhabitants. Private health care will continue to assure lack of access, accelerating costs, and limited coverage plans that are inimical to the health and well-being of the people of the United States. Under Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, “Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care…” The United States is a signatory to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights but its citizens have not claimed this right. Simultaneously, we all have the individual responsibility to diet and exercise properly and seek improvements in health programs that we engage.
