Health care policy isn't war, isn't apartheid, isn't civil rights.

Don't you think thats jsut so ironic? It's not a civil rights issue in the USA and that is the exact problem.
The healthcare system in America is completely dysfunctional. Countless people's lives are being ruined and lost. Corporations like UnitedHealthcare are intentionally perpetuating this. The leaders of these companies are conciously complicit in all of this.
There are reforms being proposed constantly because of these incredibly predatory and exploitative Corporations, again conciously lead by these leaders.
These Corporations and the people leading them are evil, they're exploiting innocent sick people for profit and they've managed to convince people like you that it's not a civil rights issue. That is the exact problem here.
"Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control."

This is only valid for Rusia, China and North Korea. Not for US. /s
My point is that health care is absolutely an element of rights (though perhaps categorized separately from _civil_ rights, though that's getting quite nitpicky).
Further, nitpicking around the definition of "rights", or who is worthy of declaring them has zero relevance to the point I'm making - that health care is traditionally an element of human rights policies and/or has a deep connection to the subject of human rights.
