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

I've been impressed, over the last 15 years, with how often the somewhat conspiratorial comments of Haitian villagers have been proven to be correct when the historical record is probed carefully.

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

The only way to do the human rights thing is to do the right thing medically.

With rare exceptions, all of your most important achievements on this planet will come from working with others- or, in a word, partnership.

But as for activism, my parents did what they could, given the constraints, but were never involved in the causes I think of when I think of activists.

We have to design a health delivery system by actually talking to people and asking, 'What would make this service better for you?' As soon as you start asking, you get a flood of answers.
