I think you misunderstand Nussbaum's concept of capabilities. "Flourishing" includes things like the right to own private property, not free health care. Capabilities aren't positive rights in the socialist sense. In terms of health care, it means the ability to be healthy, which includes the ability to choose either junk food or snack food, and the ability to access doctors (but not necessarily the right to free treatment).
