Comments on: Health, market or essential human right, that is the question http://moattari.info/80/health-market-or-essential-human-right-that-is-the-question/ Sharing Public health information for development workers Sun, 25 Sep 2011 19:17:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: fdefoin http://moattari.info/80/health-market-or-essential-human-right-that-is-the-question/comment-page-1/#comment-31 fdefoin Sun, 10 Feb 2008 16:31:14 +0000 http://moattari.wordpress.com/?p=80#comment-31 Interesting question, but we should never stray away from human rights. Market will always remain a market. Companies that provide goods will always want more and more, even at the expense of humans. Insurance companies all fall in the same basket, (the don't care basket). They determine on who you will see and what care you need...depending on how much you have. So to put it bluntly, They do not care for you! but rather for whats in your wallet.

Dear Fabian,
Thanks for your comment, that is true, but I think public health and human rights activists have to advocate the point and push the governments to spend more resources on health, as a human right, if health professionals accept the fact that health care is something that if you have money you can buy it if you don’t you are out of the market, we never can fill the gap and inequality in providing health to those who actually don’t have access.
