Free Speech as a Right vs Health Care as a Right

I've never thought of it like this before, but it's a good point. If the government were to decide which parts of health care were rights and which weren't what would that look like if a government body decided which parts of free speech were rights and which weren't.
That's a great point. If the government is going to decide which parts of health care are a right and which aren't, based on cost and political whims, than our rights become nothing more than pawns of the economic and political realities of the day.

Perhaps you want the right to free speech to be applied based on who's in charge of the Senate Finance Committee, or which lawyer got elected to the Board of Comparative Effective Speech.
