Preventative care can save, both money and time.
So universal availability of reasonable (as defined by pragmatic policy analysis) preventive medical care is good policy.
Just as pragamtic policy analysis could define what social resource should be available for your medical care, so pragmatic policy analysis could demand a reduction in the same when circumstances change.
So availability of medical care is not a right, and changes to that availability that would not be considered an infringment of your rights, nor would such require a supreme court reinterpretation of what is your right.
"Right" is as always the enemy of optimality.
