Is health insurance a right or a privilege?

The United States Supreme Court has just finished hearing three straight days of arguments regarding the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act. Health care reform has been an ongoing debate in the U.S. for decades, but with the passage of the Obama administration-backed bill, the controversy has become exponentially more heated.

We'd like to get your input. Do you think that health insurance is a right or a privilege?

Everything you share will be read by journalists only, and your responses are confidential unless you tell us we may publish them. If you have any questions about this project, contact Nick Blumberg.
