Is there a right to health care in the United States? No U.S. Supreme Court decision has ever interpreted the Constitution as guaranteeing a right to health care for all Americans. The Constitution does not contain the words “health,” “health care,” “medical care,” or “medicine.” But if we look deeper, a more nuanced picture emerges.

The Court has also constructed a right to decide to terminate a pregnancy,4,5 although it has also ruled that the government has no obligation to subsidize the exercise of this right6,7 Major Supreme Court Decisions on Health Care Rights. ). When this line of cases is considered together, it would appear that the U.S. Constitution provides scant affirmative obligation to provide health care.
