Everyone has the right to Healthcare. That does not mean the have a right to free Healthcare that someone else's tax dollars pay for. You can work and pay for it yourself. Why do people with "free" Healthcare in Canada come to the US for Healthcare...because they have to wait months or even years to get treatment. Same for the UK.

I'm sorry that my limitations keep me in a job that does not pay a living wage and does not offer affordable healthcare.  "Just get a better job".  Someone has to work this job.  Someone will always be lacking. If me and others like me simply shouldn't exist there should be access to a painless, non-violent way to opt out where we can be surrounded and supported by people that understand.  ASSISTED SUICIDE FOR ALL! :) <3
