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.
