I read the letter from Dick Kuiper (Our Readers’ Views, March 2) regarding health care not being a right and had to comment to make sure Dick understands his point of view.
First of all, perhaps Dick has never read the story or seen a movie based on Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.” Secondly, I’m sure he’ll understand if I fail to stop and help him fix his next flat tire, do not choose to share my life preserver if he ever unexpectedly finds himself drowning, or if I fail to use my CPR skills for him that I used my time and effort to acquire. On second thought, I probably would. Because he may not have a constitutional right to those services, in my mind it’s just the humane and right thing to do.
