There is much to value in your story but near the end is this. "For now, we need to make access to healthcare an unconditional human right."

You don't define "access to healthcare." Without the definition, no meaningful debate can occur. Almost everyone everywhere has access to healthcare of some sort even if it is only the local shaman. I am certain that is not what you mean.

If you mean that everyone everywhere should have healthcare provided in a manner similar to the U.K. or Canada" we can talk about some utopian notion and reality.

That kind of "healthcare an unconditional human right" not a chance. It is a privilege that all citizens of first and second world countries should demand be those countries be democratic or authoritarian. In the developed and developing world, the quality and equity of the provision of healthcare is a defining measure of a country's development.

Because of centuries of inequity the U.S. is a second tier nation regarding the provision of healthcare. In the U.S. the privilege of quality affordable healthcare is limited to only the rich, upper middle class and the children of the very poor.

My suggestion to those suffering the indignity

of this inequity is to vote with their feet and move to Canada. The U.S. is a very classist society that strongly promotes segregation by race and class despite the great efforts of Progressives and other good people. Progress breaking down these classist division will be too slow to help anyone alive in the U.S. today. There will be no revolution, actually any likely revolution would make things worse.
