From the Declaration of Independence, USA

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

So you could say access to healthcare would be in there. The intent is for the government to protect each person's unalienable Rights, not implement them (as in Universal Healthcare).

There is access to healthcare, everywhere. No hospital can turn you away. Where the argument goes is quality, cost, and convenience of the care. Is that the government's role? Could not people get together and form their own solutions? (The shortsightedness and unconscious actions of Americans have brought the system we have today. I can't really see the government changing it for the better while the same consciousness is still there. )
