Deny: Denying Health Care as a Basic Right12 Baskets Social Change Advocacy Group rejects the notion that health care is a privilege rather than a fundamental right for all Americans. For individuals like myself, born into circumstances that necessitate long-term mental health care and other ongoing support, access to health care should never depend on privilege or wealth. The lack of accessible care is a driving factor behind many of the crises we face today, including tragic acts of violence. When individuals are denied the care they need, society pays the price. Health care is not a luxury; it’s a basic human right that should be guaranteed for every American.Defend: Defending Our Right to Health Care12 Baskets Social Change Advocacy Group defends our position that health care is a right, not a privilege. Current policies and systems are designed to serve the wealthy and well-connected, leaving millions without access to the care they need to thrive. My experiences and those of countless others demonstrate how inequitable systems perpetuate suffering. The truth is, denying health care to those who need it most undermines the very principles of equality and justice on which this nation was founded. Health care should uplift all Americans, not divide us by income or circumstance.Depose: Deposing the Current Health Care System12 Baskets Social Change Advocacy Group would like Americans to support our positions and help us depose away with systems that prioritizes profit over people. The current health care policies and practices work against the majority of Americans, especially those most vulnerable. For-profit health care leaves millions uninsured or underinsured, while insurance companies deny claims and inflate costs. This system doesn’t need reform—it needs to be dismantled and rebuilt to prioritize human dignity, access, and equity. Universal health care is not radical; it’s necessary. To create a fairer society, we must depose this broken system and replace it with one that serves everyone, not just the privileged few.
