Abstract
Dating back to the writings of T. S. Marshall on social citizenship, social scientists and policy-makers alike have debated the rights and responsibilities associated with citizenship. Originally defined by Marshall in 1949, citizenship encompassed ‘the whole range from the right to a modicum of economic wel- fare and security to the right to share to the full in the social heritage and to live the life of a civilized being according to the standards prevailing in the society’ (Pierson and Castles, 2000:32). Notably, this conceptualization refers to politi- cal, civil, and social rights that individuals should ideally have as members of society, which would certainly include the right to healthcare, as the ability to participate fully in society is clearly linked to one’s health status.
