>> Now it's pretty clear to me that in the us we should provide medical care as a basic human right for all citizens.

If that is a right, then someone has an obligation to provide it. "The government" isn't a provider, some doctor is and they aren't forced to work for free.

The way our right to an education has resulted in a million teachers volunteering for no money? Or the way our right to an attorney has resulted in the complete collapse of the criminal defense attorney sector? The government can be a funder without being a provider.
