My biggest beef with the “healthcare is a human right” is that the vast majority that say it (in my experience) are very overweight people who have horrible health habits.
If I lived in a country full of people who took care of their health and we weren't constantly importing diseased third worlders, I'd be in favor of universal healthcare too. But we don't, and every day we get further and further from that ideal, so I am not.
Canada is outright telling it's citizens that they should kill themselves for the Greater Good. Healthcare is a finite resource, why waste it on people past their productive years who might be nostalgic for the way things used to be and vote accordingly?
Healthcare isn't a limited resource, but peoples time is. The phrase "Healthcare is a human right" is the cry of a slaver because it demands that doctors, nurses, technicians, etc no longer have the right to set the terms for their skills, labour and time.
The time of doctors et all are an integral part if healthcare and thus makes it a limited resource. There's also the material components to consider; medicine, bandages, clean sheets, etc. It's also why an ambulance ride costs like a thousand bucks, they can't ferry everyone to the doctor all the time.
My biggest beef is that it would entitle people to the labor of another. Also, the statement has no limits, which is fundamentally unrealistic, so they should at least have the decency to change their catchphrase to "health care should be a human right until some nameless person in the giant government bureaucracy decides it's too much and that its no longer a right."
Here's the reality. In 2018, there were 985,026 licensed physicians in the USA. There are 330,150,668 people in the USA. Let's say everyone in the USA exercises their human right to an annual physical. If we say a physical takes 20 minutes, every doctor in the country would have to work 80 hours a week every week.
Leftists just sort of hijacked liberties into rights. Liberties are yours independently of government, and codifying them is just an attempt to limit government. These kind of rights to goods are codifying socialism.
It's a human right to have a government control what procedures you can get and when you can get them. 6 month waiting list for brain tumor removal in Canada. Denied hip replacements in the UK. Sorry, no asprin in Cuba for non-military non-tourists, here's a stick to bite on.
a scarce resource can never be a 'right'. Someone has to provide it. Notice these people are never willing to make the sacrifices and commitments to provide healthcare for anyone else. They just demand it. From other people. Other people must invest and pay for it. Not them.
Communists are just stupid lazy people. Parasites. Worthless people. The absolute scum of humanity.
The whole fucking marketing behind it by activists is retarded. It's a necessity, but it isn't a right. You aren't fucking entitled to someone else's labor. It's something we all need to prosper, but to fucking call it a right undermines what our ACTUAL rights are, both from natural law and those enshrined to us by the Constitution.
Internet isn't a right. Healthcare isn't a right. Driving a car isn't a right. A lot of shit we need to function aren't rights - they're important but they aren't rights.
Someone should tell these leftists why our healthcare prices are so high and how it's due to government regulations forcing ERs to treat people even for the smallest issues and that drives prices up because the hospital is forced to eat the cost when they treat homeless people.
Heads would explode when they realized hospitals have been forced to eat tons of operating costs.
The vast majority of anyone saying anything is overweight nowadays. Well, except "you should try the rainbow diet" anorexic board discussions.
Healthcare is a human privilege. But that declaration has too much baggage on the term, even though it is a more accurate term. It can be suspended. It can be rescinded. It can be not offered in the first place. It is dependent on it being created to offer to others.
My biggest issue with ANY statement that ends in "...is a human right" is that it's always someone else who has to provide this right. Food doesn't just appear; someone has to grow, harvest, package, ship, and prepare the food. Energy doesn't just appear; someone has to build the plants, harvest raw resources, build and maintain distro networks, and generate the energy. Healthcare doesn't just appear; people have to complete six plus years of complex and difficult schooling and practice, often taking on massive loans, to even BEGIN to practice medicine.
So on and so forth.
All these things are human privileges that people today just don't appreciate the fucking magnitude of. I'm all for increasing the standard of living for everyone so that everyone has access to these privileges (rising tide raises all ships and all that), but fuck declaring something tangible and requiring human labor a right ; that's some self-aggrandizing, sin of Pride-style bullshit. The only rights we have are the natural rights; the right to struggle and fight for resources, safety, security, and happiness. Everything else is a nicety we've invented; a luxury many don't appreciate nor work to defend.
My biggest beef with anyone who says "[Service] is a human right" is ultimately suggesting that slavery needs to exist. Then again, slavery with extra steps already exists, but most people aren't ready for that truth.
And they are the reason the Healthcare profession is so fucking back breaking and understaffed. It's become such a revolving door at rest homes it's a fucking joke.

Mine is that they will tell me directly to my face that I'm subhuman and deserved to die a mere two years ago.
And now that all the data showing we were right about covid comes out they are silent

"Healthcare is a human right!"
"Ok, here's your government issue barbell and plates. Start deadlifting you miserable fat fuck."
My biggest beef with "healthcare" is abortion being sold as healthcare. It's a literal evil.
And then they try to tell you they do so many things besides abortion.

Fatties are a net savings iirc because they die so young. Same for smokers.
But you aren't wrong.
Anyone who uses "right" to mean "thing I want someone else to give me" is being intentionally deceiving
