Even if you could somehow classify free healthcare as a right, how would you even define it? What level of service would be provided? Does this right extend to all humans? Do you see the problem?
Stop changing the meanings of words. "The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their proper name." What you're advocating for is not a right and it doesn't take "standing up like a man" to say so.
