No you don't have the right to someone else's stuff, which includes their money to pay for your healthcare. That said the only way we can afford good health care is do it as a collective. Only a very few can actually afford good healthcare on their own. The rest has to use insurance or government to spread out the risk. I say if you can help it and choose not to contribute to society in some way then you should be left to your own fate.
