Healthcare is a right.

Well actually the roads and military are forced by gunpoint. If I don't pay the taxes to fund the roads or military what happens? I've made the choice to face bureaucrats with weapons and a public mandate to send me to jail.
However, like I said in the earlier post, I tend to agree with the constitution. It says the congress has the ability to 'establish post offices and post roads,' so I agree with that. The federal government has the authority to build roads under the constitution. Also, forming a military is one of the limited powers given to the federal government so I don't have a problem with that either.
Health care though is not mandated or authorized by the federal government, and the funding should not be extracted by gun point to fund it.
