"XXX is a human right" where XXX is a product or service being bought and sold on the open market = "I want XXX for free and have no other justification for why I shouldn't pay for it"
Isn't it funny how the government leaders make damn sure they pass benefits for themselves like full coverage health care and high salaries, but they look the other way when it comes to giving the people these same benefits and fight companies to give workers a living wage.

...still trying to figure out how a well dug by one person can "reach others" or "lead to other people"....

To simplify it more. Your property has a river running through it. You can use it for any purpose so long as it doesn’t negatively affect the people using it down river.
If you build a structure, or if it is underground, then that structure such as a well is yours to use.
You want free American healthcare? The thing doctors and nurses in droves are coming out and saying doesn’t care about your health, only profits and keeping their jobs and egos? Regularly bans treatment that actually saves you, treats you with “treatments” that kill you and only recently did they even get caught with this just once?

Which is the vast majority of the population.
Health care is relatively inexpensive for the young, it's the old that dominate resources in terms of health and social care.
The idea behind universal healthcare is that the old and vulnerable are looked after properly, and whilst the system is far from perfect, it's better than relying on charity or the poor house.
What do people mean when they say "healthcare is a human right?"

Of course. But they have these work labor in limit form? 40 hours per week. 8 hours per day. 1 hour lunch time. Minimum wage must be paid. No segregation allowed on the work force. Any abuse is unacceptable by law that adheres to the constitution. And there may be other local laws around with the federal laws.

Liberalism 101.
In most countries there are significant taxes on cigarettes and alcohol, which help fund healthcare and other expenditure.
It could also be argued that those who smoke, drink and do drugs are going to have shorter lives, leading to less medical expenditure, due to the fact the majority of health and social care expenditure is spent on the elderly.
