It has nothing to do with right or priveledge.
A healthy populace is essential to a healthy society.
A healthy society is essential to the development of the individual.
The development of the individual is then essential for the cause of liberty.
And, liberty is the root of the development of society, body and soul.

Healthcare for Profit should be classed as a Crime Against Humanity.
Judging a Quality of Life , by the size of your bank balance , is a Shame the US cannot hide.
Cuba has a better quality of life.

It's not a "right." Rights don't compel other people to do anything for you. You have a "right" to free speech. No one else has to provide it
for you.
As Rand Paul says, if you make healthcare a right, you create a slave class of people who can be compelled to provide that healthcare for you.
I had to use several sources to pull together the full quote. Here's one source.

With regard to the idea of whether you have a right to health care, you have realize what that implies. It's not an abstraction. I’m a physician. That means you have a right to come to my house and conscript me. It means you believe in slavery.
It means that you’re going to enslave not only me, but the janitor at my hospital, the person who cleans my office, the assistants who work in my office, the nurses.
Basically, once you imply a belief in a right to someone’s services — do you have a right to plumbing? Do you have a right to water? Do you have right to food? — you’re basically saying you believe in slavery.
I’m a physician in your community and you say you have a right to health care, You have a right to beat down my door with the police, escort me away and force me to take care of you? That’s ultimately what the right to free health care would be.
Our founding documents were very clear about this. You have a right to pursue happiness; but there's no guarantee of physical comfort, there's no guarantee of concrete items.

This is what many people do not understand when it comes to healthcare. Healthcare works because it is a profit based model more people are paying in to that system than using it hence the profit part.
Now since the average person can go 10,20,30 years without ever needing that insurance they are paying for those who do, and from that profit they develop new drugs, better equipment, and practices that benefit the end user.
Without that profit there would be no antibitotics,nuclear medicines that in some cases cure "cancers" and produce the technology that have saved millions from cancers, and that most loved birth control pill.
All due from profit now take the government version of medicare and medicaid what the hell have they done except live off of private medicine breakthroughs.
Also what incentive does a for profit healthcare industry have to cure anything? Why would they want to cure cancer or Aids when they can make a fortune giving a person drugs the last decade of there life? How long has it been since the medical industry cured anything?
