To get the correct answer, I would suggest rephrasing your question as follows: Does anyone have the right to confiscate your earnings, or savings, to pay for someone elses healthcare? I say "no". Regardless of how well intentioned it is, it represents "theft". Whether I rob my neighbors house to pay for my healthcare or whether I have the government do it for me, theft is still theft.
