for starters you are denied medical rights
There are no such thing as "medical rights." Health care is a highly labor and capital intensive service, not an entitlement.
In fact, one of the BEST things about the US is we try to keep government out of health care.

Lol, its very revealing you thing basic civil liberties should be an 'entitlement'. There is of course such thing as 'medical rights' and I read a very interesting article arguing that the denial of 'basic medical rights' is the most important issue of today with paticular regard to the War on Drugs.

If you're saying that the war on drugs is criminalizing people who basically have a medical problem, then we agree.
If you're saying that people should be given health care free of charge, then I say tell them to pick it from the tree it grows on.
The labor of other people goes into health care. It is a service. It has a cost. It is not free.
NOBODY in the US is denied health care by law. Anybody who can pay for (themselves or through a 3rd party) it can get it. And THAT is the fair way to do it.
