    It’s not the right to healthcare. It’s the right to seek healthcare. Ie, they can’t deprive you of life or liberty without charging you. Restricting you from seeking healthcare deprives you of both.

    They used whichever they thought was more likely to get through SCOTUS.

      This does not stand up to constitutional muster, is my point. The argument is that the government has a right to prevent certain things that could be healthcare, and that does hold water constitutionally.
