You're confusing 'negative' and 'positive' rights. You do NOT have a right to health care and I'll clearly explain why by example: In the U.S. we have something called the Bill of Rights, and the first one is the right to Freedom of Speech. That means the government can't restrict your speech (except under very specific circumstances, and there's always the "yelling fire in a crowded theater" exception.) What it does NOT mean is that you have a right to a printing press, a radio station, or and auditorium and an audience. Your right to free speech places no claim on others, except that they cannot interfere in your rights to life, liberty and to pursue happiness. When you say you have a RIGHT to health care, it's a whole different story. If you need health care and can't pay for it, you place a claim on others to provide it for you: taxpayers, nurses, doctors, etc. That's the difference. The reality is, you don't have any claim on my life. And the even better news? I don't have a claim on yours.
