Anywhere you have extreme poverty and no national health insurance, no promise of health care regardless of social standing, that's where you see the sharp limitations of market-based health care.

The thing about rights is that in the end you can't prove what should be considered a right.

In fact, it seems to me that making strategic alliances across national borders in order to treat HIV among the world's poor is one of the last great hopes of solidarity across a widening divide.

If access to health care is considered a human right, who is considered human enough to have that right?

What I can argue is that no one should have to die of a disease that is treatable.

I mean, everybody should have access to medical care. And, you know, it shouldn't be such a big deal.

I think we will see better vaccines within the next 15 years, but I'm not a scientist and am focused on the short-term - what will happen in the interim.
