Although the U.S. government played a key role in the early development of the right to health under international law,21 it had long faltered in the implementation of these rights-based norms through U.S. health care policy.22 As other nations moved to establish universal health care systems, the expanding U.S. system of private employer-sponsored insurance and the strident opposition of the American Medical Association repeatedly blunted calls for sweeping government action.23 Yet, despite the failure of these early efforts to bring about universal health care, such rights-based advocacy spurred incremental efforts to expand government involvement in health care in the United States—universal access to emergency care, coverage for the needs of the elderly and indigent, and access to basic services for children—offering evolving government recognition of rights-based obligations for the health of the most vulnerable members of society.24 However, these increasingly expansive efforts failed to codify a universal right to comprehensive health care.	cache/ihlr-25035.pdf	txt/ihlr-25035.txt
