Having your house put out if it catches fire isn’t a RIGHT its a service (product if you will)!
Having your mail delivered also is not a right.
having smooth roads to drive on isnt a right -
I don't mind paying taxes for those services for everyone. They are put in place by government for our safety, protection, and convenience.. Health coverage is just going to be another ones of those things added to the list which protects our nations individual health.

If you want to compare your life/healthcare to things like fire depts, police depts, the dept of transportation, etc....great, lets compare. Not one of those systems is run efficiently. You want your health in the hands of those same people? Thanks, but I'll pass.
