Is Daily Sustenance a Human Right or a Privilege?

Should healthcare, foodstuffs, and shelter be treated as commodities subject to the buyers ability to
pay, or designated as rights because a persons survival depends on them? In short, is the innate human
drive of self-preservation worthy of being recognized societally as justifying a right to sustenance? In the
E.U., this point of view tends to hold sway, whereas in the U.S., food, medical care (and medicine), and
housing units tend to be treated as commodities subject to a buyers ability to pay. This difference in
political socio-economic ideology is as telling as it is significant, yet in the U.S. at least the question is
rarely debated directly rather than through ancillary issues.
