“A healthy population being necessary for the well being and security of a free State, the right of the people to seek medical treatment for illness or injury, shall not be infringed.”

The Constitution is about not denying rights.
You can seek medical treatment; that doesn’t mean you will get it.

Whenever there is a right conferred, there are also duties and responsibilities that go along with those rights.

If the duties and responsibilities are not exercised, then the “right” becomes meaningless.

Whatever “right” one may have to ACCESS to health care, there is also the duty to avoid situations that may lead to having to seek the medical services, and the responsibility of assuring the services obtained are justly rewarded when rendered.

Medical services are, by their very nature, scarce, and access should be purely based upon NEED, not as an entitlement. As a scarce commodity, the rationing of medical services shall either be by price, or by deferral or outright denial.
