However, we are discussing personal rights, or individual rights, such as the right to free speech, etc.

The "right" to National Defense is not an individual right, exercised by a single person. I can't, for example, call up the US Air Force and cause them to bomb Iran.



I don't dispute any of this.

But none of what you have said prohibits the consideration of health care as a basic right in the United States, regardless of its cost.

As I've said, the Constitution doesn't specifically deny health care as a right, so therefore, we can in 2005 and beyond, consider it and argue for (or against) it.
