Actually, I regard Obamacare as a massive infringement of the natural right to health care.

The natural right to health care, like the natural right to keep and bear arms and the natural rights of freedom of religion, speech and the press, must be exercised with the resources (and thus at the expense of) the person exercising it.

My right to keep and bear arms does not oblige my fellow citizens through the agency of the state to provide me with a rifle and ammunition, nor does my right to freedom of the press create an obligation for others to provide me with paper and ink. No more does my right to health care oblige others to pay for my use of the services of a physician, the acquisition of medicines and the like. What it does entail is the fact that any government that prevents me from contracting with willing providers of medical services or providing my own to myself if tyrannous and should be resisted.

Obamacare infringes the natural right to health care by making many means of acquiring (or providing) health care illegal, in much the same way that many measures advocated by gun grabbers infringe the natural right to keep and bear arms.
