It is in EVERY OTHER FIRST-WORLD NATION. Only the Benighted States Of 'Murrika believes zip code, colour and bank account should determine your health status.
You could argue it's like having counsel provided for you if arrested, but there are people who work for the public defenders office. If there are doctors working for the gov and being paid by taxpayers, they those who cannot afford private care can go to them.
Making Healthcare a right would make health care workers slaves. It's not a right.

Side note, universal Healthcare is bullshit.. There is a reason Canadians come to the US in droves for medical treatment. There are no waiting lists here. I have a friend of mine from Canada, he had cancer. A simple procedure would resolve it, the wait list was almost two years long, he would have died if he waited, so he came here, I paid for the procedure and he had it with in days of coming here. The waiting lists in government Healthcare kills people.

I wish it could be a right but it's not possible as long as it requires others to facilitate it. That being said, I fully believe healthcare should be accessible and affordable for all.
Immigrants come here by boat in the morning and are given housing, cars spending money and free healthcare.! How can you therefore say it isn't given as a human right?

Well it is in the declaration of independence as one of the inalienable rights.
It's nuanced and more complicated than that.

No. You can't force a doctor to give you free care just because you say you have a "right" to it
I mean like universal healthcare with an actual good coverage, not making a doctor work for free

i mean the hypocratic oath is an oath that medics give. but that's not a human right tho.

@asker The site did an image to attract attention to it. Sometimes it does that.
It's not a right if it requires someone else to perform labor.
The existence of public defenders says otherwise- or at least, that it's not that simple.
Everybody should get it I don’t have anything now I’ve gotten screwed over
Welcome to Joe Biden's America.
@AngryCarl it’s horrible

If you can pay for a doctor, yes. Or in my case, if your taxes pay for a doctor.
No one has a right to have someone else pay for their healthcare.
In a civilized society, it should be a right.
It depends where you live. Here in the UK it is.
@TommyMountainFigure you pay for it with taxes
@Badgirlnatalia I do, but people who aren't working still get it and don't pay!
Good

Say that to your government. They are responsible for that
@Badgirlnatalia If voting made any difference it would be deemed illegal!
It is classed as a basic right here.
It should be a human right
100% human right.
It’s a right
Yes yes yes yes
