As healthcare policy debates resurface across the country, this rerun takes listeners back to a foundational question: what does it actually mean to call healthcare a human right? Drs. May and Tim Hindmarsh examine Oregon’s decision to enshrine access to healthcare in its constitution and explore the practical implications behind the promise. Rather than debating ideals in the abstract, they focus on the real-world consequences—how rights-based language collides with limited resources, clinical judgment, and physician autonomy. It’s a timely reminder that the words we use in healthcare policy carry weight, especially when they shape expectations for patients and doctors alike.
