In the US there is the phrase that we are born with inalienable rights, is Health included or does one earn the right to health care?

If this small sample is of any validity, the nation is going to get what you want. The US is the only country in the civilized world without universal health coverage!

I'm not too sure how the health system works in the US(I mean, to it's full interpretation in how it applies) In the UK we pay National Insurance stamp which is levied upon our earnings in the same way that Tax is which helps bring about free health for all.

I don't look too deeply into how the US sees this, other than from what I read there are many who wouldn't consider a National Health service and in all honesty, I don't truly know why some of them object as much as they do.
