healthcare is not some fixed asset to be divided by you or anyone else. it is also not a right, because in the US, there only negative rights (the government cannot do X...) and conditional affirmative rights (the government can only do X if they also give you Y). unconditional affirmative rights (like healthcare) are a mess on a long enough timeline because it requires someone else to be enslaved to provide you that affirmative right. the only way to stave off literal enslavement is to keep running prices up to get more and more people to do something they otherwise wouldn't want to do.
