From “Our Malady by Timothy Snyder” continued

“The Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948 states: “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 and necessary social services.” Most nations’ constitutions enshrine a right to health care. The list includes Japan and Germany, whose new constitutions the United States influenced after defeating them in the Second World War. Today Germans and Japanese live longer and healthier lives than Americans.

Americans helped to establish health care as a human right around the world. Why then is health care not seen as such in the United States? Why are Americans not protected by the agreements that our government signed? Should we accept that citizens of other democracies enjoy a right that we are denied, and live longer and healthier lives than we do? Many of us seem to find that acceptable. Why?”

From “Our Malady: Lessons in Liberty from a Hospital Diary by Timothy Snyder”

“The idea that health care is a right can seem strange to Americans today. Yet officially the United States has been committed to such a right for more than seventy years. After Nazi Germany was defeated in the Second World War, and as the United States engaged the Soviet Union in a long Cold War, Americans helped to draft and Americans signed agreements that articulated a human right to health care.

The constitution of the World Health Organization, founded in 1946, states: “The enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being without distinction of race, religion, political belief, economic or social condition.”

@msquebanh Absolutely, Article 22, #UNUDHR

“Everyone, as a member of society, has the right to social security and is entitled to realization, through national effort and international co-operation and in accordance with the organization and resources of each State, of the economic, social and cultural rights indispensable for his dignity and the free development of his personality.”

It’s more than just deserved, it’s an inalienable right!

#militarybudget2024 #UDHR #TeamFreedom

@msquebanh my take: Draw down military funding, re-orient police on #UNUDHR, and redirect funds to more essential frontline resources.

Very similar in nature!
