[Expert Solution]: On Martin Luther King Jr

On Martin Luther King Jr. Day in 2013 Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sibelius assured us: “We at the Department of Health and Human Services honor Martin Luther King Jr.’s call for justice, and recall how 47 years ago he framed health care as a basic human right. We are committed to reducing health disparities, and that means making sure all Americans have access to affordable, quality health care. In this discussion forum, you are called to debate the implications of health as a human right. Human Rights: What does healthcare as a Right really mean?

How inferences can you draw from vaccine hesitancy (COVID 19 vaccine, measles vaccine…), public health, personal responsibility, and healthcare as a right?
