Amending the Constitution to include health care as a right

Is it going to come down to this? Utah is laying the groundwork to amend its state Constitution. Until then, health care continues to absolutely not be a right.

“McCoy’s SJR4 would amend the Utah Constitution to require the Legislature to establish and maintain a system to provide “affordable, medically necessary” health care for all Utah citizens.”
Medically necessary — as determined by whom and by what standard? Politicians and bureaucrats — perhaps even judges?
That is the inevitable outcome of any such proposal.

Merely declaring a new right does not answer the existing dilemmas of access, pay, insurance, medicines etc.
