The police, military and courts are essential services required to support the rule of law. They are there to provide protection against or to address transgressions against an individual's liberty.
Federalized health care is not in the same category. It is a reallocation of one individual's productivity for the sole benefit of a separate individual. In essence, it insitutionalizes the violation of an innocent person's liberty to benefit another. One cannot say the same of the services provided by courts, military and police.
