What the fuck is even that argument? You do realise that medical professionals don’t work for free in countries with free healthcare, right? The stupidity of Americans never fails to amaze me.
Lol, I do know that I am actually from Britain, a country where we supposedly have "free healthcare", it's not all it's cracked up to be. It's not "free" at all, the taxpayer pays for it. And it costs us a lot of money.
Of course doctor's don't work for free you lemon, it's paid for by taxpayers (which essentially just means it's paid for by the product of other peoples labour that's stolen by the government. There's no such thing as public money, only taxpayer's money), but if you are saying that healthcare is a right, then it means that in principle you agree that everyone should be entitled to it regardless. So the question is then, who's going to provide you with it? The doctor or the taxpayer? It's the same principle. You are demanding that other people provide you with healthcare.
Who's going to protect you from someone invading your home with weapons? Do you have a right to your property? To your life? Does your family? Because you rely on the services of many others to ensure these things aren't taken from you by force.
You are arguing that you don't have the right to retain your property or your life or family. These aren't human rights because they require someone else's labor and/or cooperation. They're things that exist because of a public service you receive. Why dont you start paying a local gang for "protection" instead?
The logic in your argument supports this conclusion. But I'm sure that publicly funded police is something you have much more socialist opinions about. People this blatantly antagonistic always do.
Stop being a hypocrite and put your money where your mouth is. Stop accepting public services altogether. Purchase them, or provide them yourself. Or is your conviction false?

It’s true. Healthcare is not and cannot be a right.
You cannot have a right to what somebody else has to produce or somebody else’s labour. It contradicts the entire principle of individual rights.
