If he had stayed with "healthcare is a basic human right no one should be without," well, you can't really argue against that without looking heartless.
Why, just because you need it to survive? You need food to survive, too. Does that make food a basic human right? I'm sorry, but just because I'm running a restaurant or grocery doesn't make me morally obligated to feed every starving moneyless waif who comes along. I guess that makes me heartless.
As a private business owner, you are not obligated to provide food to all who are hungry. However, the government is responsible for this as well as insuring that each citizen is not denied any of his or her basic human rights.
