The regressive left has said that healthcare is a universal right that should be enjoyed by all Americans. And many people on both sides of the political aisle tend to agree with the sentiment. But just because they agree with the idea it doesn’t necessarily mean it is correct.
Miss USA 2017 Kara McCullough told millions of viewers that healthcare is not a right but a privilege:
“I’m definitely going to say it’s a privilege,” she said.
“As a government employee, I’m granted health care. And I see firsthand that for one, to have health care, you need jobs, so therefore we need to continue to cultivate this environment so that we’re given the opportunities to have health care as well as jobs for all Americans worldwide.”
This is a common libertarian viewpoint. You have a right to your life, to your property, to the fruits of your labor. But you don’t have a right to healthcare. Just like you don’t have a right to a job, to an employment benefit, to a house or to a Rolls Royce.
Of course, McCullough angered the left. Bigly.
Here is just one tweet:
“A brown girl won
#MissUSA but she thinks affordable healthcare is a privilege and feminism is man-hate so she’s cancelled.#ByeGirl.”

If she championed social justice causes, the left would be celebrating McCullough and claiming her to be the best Miss USA winner of all-time (it used to be the first-ever Muslim winner, but she converted to Christianity, and you know what happens when this occurs). However, since McCullough committed a thought crime according to the politically correct stasi and doesn’t subscribe to groupthink, they are lambasting her.
