Interesting. So we have the guaranteed right to own a deadly weapon, but not to healthcare. Lovely country, this, wot?

Pretty simple if you actually applied logic.
You can make or purchase a deadly weapon, which is an inanimate object. A one time fee pays for ownership of the object.
Healthcare is a service, reliant on very expensive educational and life investement by those in the health profession, a profession where everything is changing rapidly which keeps costs for maintaining education in a competetive field. Healthcare workers deserve to be paid well for the level of service they provide, based on their education, ability and general treatment of people. Healthcare workers are not tools of the government, inanimate objects who are plugged in to work for the government with no voice on the level of their wages, their life, their potential.
You can't have a "natural right" to another persons labor..... that is slavery.
Not so hard to grasp is it?
