The right to life does not mean you have to provide me with food.
The right to health care does not mean you have to provide me with medicine.
You cannot obstruct my access to food, however, or you are actively killing me.

Then there is no such right as a "right to heath care."

Even if there was, the only right you would have is to perform your own health care. There are a lot of web sites which show you how to take out an appendix. Just grab a knife and a mirror. If I stand in your way, or if I take away your knife or your mirror, then I suppose you could say I was obstructing your right to take out your own appendix. But other than that, you have no "right to health care" any more than you have a right to happiness.
