I believe health care coverage is a right in the sense that all Americans should have the OPPORTUNITY to have health insurance coverage and be able to AFFORD to pay for it and that we are treated FAIRLY when the insurance company has to pay the claims. I'm not expecting anything to be HANDED out to the masses with no personal responsibility to maintain coverage. (Exception: I think all children should have some type of coverage)
