Depends on the Healthcare and the country.

In the US for example the government is supposed to protect 3 main rights.

Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

Healthcare falls under both Life and Happiness. (not the pursuit)


Healthcare that perserves Life is a right.

Elective healthcare is happiness... and not the pursuit of it.

So.... Heart surgery = Right.
Plastic Surgery = Not a Right.

Furthermore how it is paid for is an issue. Since Progressive taxation would be a violation of "Liberty".

As Liberty should include everyone being treated as equals.

this, but some plastic surgery like a nose job help with breathing.

and lets face it some people self steem would get a boost from it.
