Who is Really Responsible for Those Who Are Unfortunate?

In this essay, I will argue that a mandatory, single-tier healthcare system in a well-off country is morally incorrect because citizens should have the right to purchase alternative healthcare services if desired. Although I believe that every citizen should have a positive right to adequate healthcare relative to the prosperity of their country (Daniels, 2003), I also accept that citizens should have the freedom to spend money earned on any legitimate service they desire (T. Engelhardt, 2003).
