Connecticut Public Interest Law Journal from University of Connecticut School of Law

Abstract: Healthcare is a fundamental human right. The right to health is as important as the right to food and shelter. Although the United States leads the world in advancing medical technology and science, it significantly lags behind other industrialized nations in regard to the basic human right to health. Healthcare has become a commodity in the United States. The affluent have absolute access to health; the disadvantaged and marginalized are denied this necessary access.
