I do not believe healthcare is a right CMV

Now then, let me clarify. I believe that having *access* to healthcare is a right. That no government should deny you the right to procure it. 

However, I do not see it as a right in the sense of right to free speech, self defense, freedom of assembly etc etc are rights. More or less that rights are abstract things, and not material items. Excluding things like right to property, ability to procure property, etc etc. 

I find it abhorrent the idea healthcare should be paid for by the point of a gun, and not of their own labor. What I mean by this is that when I hear "health care is a right and should be provided by the government", I see it as, "I think the government should tax other people, and take their money by force if necessary, to pay for my healthcare."

I can understand the view of, "its just the right thing to do." Which is fine if you personally want to do such, but it becomes morally suspect IMO once you force others to provide that charity. 

edit: its 1:00 PM and I have to step away for a lab that'll run till late this afternoon. I'll try and answer a few from my phone, if this continues. I haven't had that Δ answer yet, but there have been a few that have let me struggling to answer. So far interesting discussion.

*Why?* If healthcare can't be a right solely because it's a material thing, how come property rights are exempt from this argument?
