Neither is public education, public environmental protection, food and drug administration, transportation, social security, nor the arts.
National security (the military) is the only constitutionally described “public” benefit.

Health care is most certainly NOT the government’s responsibility!
I still remember this poem we were required to memorize in 7th grade, and the last two lines says it all:
I agree that the government is not responsible for our healthcare.
Here’s a poem that we had to memorize in the 7th grade:
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
by William Ernst Henley
