I think we've gotten a bit away from the point.  Sometimes people say health care is a 'right' when they mean "people have a right to be able to afford healthcare".  I certainly don't believe anyone has a 'right' for someone else to pay for their care.  But that is in reality what we had before ACA.  People who paid nothing for health insurance used the hospital emergency room when sick or injured, and if admitted would pay only what they could afford, if anything.  Everyone else had their bills padded to pay for the indigents.  After ACA more people paid into the system and bills were spread more evenly.  I believe it encouraged individual responsibility, and I know people felt more secure.
