		Healthcare is not a "right" - just as food, shelter or clothing are not rights - even though some try to portray it as such.
		Calling healthcare a right requires one party to give up something of value to another party, and therefore does not fit the definition of a "right." Everyone does have the right to access healthcare, but not to have someone else foot the bill.

	Small Business Supports Healthcare Reform
		NEW YORK, Jun 17 (Reuters) -- Small business owners would support some healthcare reform proposals pending in Congress, even if they were forced to pay higher premiums for employees, according to a survey released Wednesday by the Kaiser-Harvard Program on the Public and Health/Social Policy and the American Small Business Alliance Education Fund.
		Between 45% and 50% of the 800 small business executives surveyed nationwide said they would absorb all costs associated with a health reform proposal, if the reforms increased monthly premiums by either $1 to $5 -- the low end -- or $15 to $20 -- the high end -- per individual policy.
		If the reform meant that government was "too involved" in healthcare, only 49% registered support for providing people with more information, 44% were in favor of allowing people to appeal a decision, and 46% supported allowing a woman to see a gynecologist without permission from her primary care provider.
