I don't think it is a rights issue. I believe we should pay for the healthcare of someone that volunteered to go into the military and go to Iraq even though they knew it was bad for their health. I feel it is the responsibility of those of us who are fortunate enough to have money and health to care for those that do not no matter what the circumstances are that put them in that position. I don't think they are sick or poor on purpose.
