"Health Care is Not a Right" by Leonard Peikoff

Given the concern about the new Health Care bill working through Congress it would seem appropriate to discuss the moral underpinning of Universal Health Care. This is a lecture delivered at a Town Hall Meeting on health care in Costa Mesa, California on December 11, 1993. Published in the book "Why Businessmen Need Philosophy" by Ayn Rand and others, edited by Richard E. Ralston. The lecture can be read online, downloaded as a PDF or viewed online.
