When I look at the Preamble of the World Health Organization I found several that I can agree to but several which I read into them the political confrontation within their text. For an example, I would totally agree with:

Health is a state of complete, physical, mental, and social well- being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity The achievement of any state in the promotion and protection of health is of value to all. The extension to all people of the benefits of medical, psychological, and related knowledge is essential to the fullest attainment of health.   However, once we get down to the level that “the health of people is fundamental to the attainment of peace and security”they loss me. Peace has never been attainable and to indicate overwhelming national resources should be utilized for the acquisition of peace instead of the acquisition of health, they miss their point. I am not a war lover by any stretch of the imagination and I assume no one is, but I also believe completely in the Reagan philosophy that “peace always comes from strength”. There has always evil since Adam, Eve sinned, and there will always be evil until Jesus makes his return. The political implication of that statement concerns me.   A second statement I would like to agree with but I think I am reading too much into this:   The enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being without distinction of race, religion, political belief, or economic or social condition.   I just cannot agree with the “fundamental right” of an enjoyment. I am without question a true constitutional conservative and so I believe the framers of the Declaration of Independence got this one right by saying:     “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”     Nowhere in our preamble do we indicate we have the right for many of the things we claim today, including health care. Now before you blow me up I am not saying that we should not do all we can to attain the “highest attainable standard of health without distinction of race, religion, political belief, or economic or social condition” but to indicate that there is a right granted instead of a right to pursue is the sticking point with me. My fear is if the United State would adopt this as their health preamble, we would then be responsible in some great part to assure that the WORLD enjoys the highest standard of care. We have enough issues of our own to deal with without the issue of providing for the world. We already handle the majority of vaccination, medical supplies and medical clinics in the under-developed world and will continue to provide that service simply because we are that type of nation, and those type of people. I am much more concerned with the biblical commandment to help my neighbor in these difficult times and provide him with the health he needs to achieve Happiness.   OK, permission to disagree.       McLaughlin, C.
