	Richard Epstein - Guru of "Anti-Right to Health Care"
		Epstein begins by asserting that dealing with health care resources and society’s health care needs can only be properly discussed in context as a scarce resource, a resource which in fact will always be in short supply no matter what the "system of social control" (or no matter how we might attempt a just distribution).

		Greely first argues that several of Epstein's chapters focus on the need to change the health care system to let people who cannot afford care die, without providing empirical support for his claims about the costs of the current system.
		He asserts that Epstein never assesses the possible benefits to the programs he attacks, including the value in their correspondence to the popular unwillingness to let people die for lack of money.
		Epstein's first principles, Greely urges, do not provide solutions to the problems of access to health care and are, at best, irrelevant to them.
