Unfortunately, the scum bags have a constitutional right to the best health care money can buy. The average citizen does not.

Neither has a constitutional right to health care, but both do have basic right to life, after which they are responsible for the care of such.

However, this "scum bag" may be getting the best health care money can buy, but the problem is that he is not paying for it - the average citizen, who has no access to such care, is.

I checked with medical staff. They did not know if the inmates have a constitutional right to medical care, they just knew that the laws say they get it. To me, it is the same thing, but the bottom line is, he gets the best care money can buy, and the tax payers pick up the tab. I know for sure some scum bags have committed crimes, just to go to jail, so they can get the mediacl treatment they need.
