Health care has always been a responsibility, a duty, even, but never a “right”. To declare control of this part of your life to be a “right” is to relinquish any accountability for securing the very best care FOR YOURSELF to somebody else.

And the “somebody else” won’t be all that motivated. Especially when it becomes a dollar item, and therefore subject to rationing, or even denial.

Actually, health care is a right in exactly the same sense that keeping and bearing arms is a right and freedom of press is a right, albeit not enumerated in the Constitution. My right to keep and bear arms and to publish pamphlets or a newspaper must be exercised at my own expense (or with the backing of willing supporters or investors). My right to keep and bear arms does not create a claim on my fellow citizens to provide me with a rifle and ammuntion, and my right to freedom of the press obligates no one to buy me a printing press, ink and paper.

In fact, Obamacare is a massive infringement of our natural right to health care.
