There is no amendment to the US Constitution that provides a guarantee to Health Coverage. .
I'd add that health care should not be a federal issue for sure because the Constitution doesn't discuss it. "General welfare" does not cover this: If "general welfare" were to be used widely, our Founders warned, virtually anything could be made to fit under it and the disaster of big government would follow. Jefferson specifically stated: "Congress has not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare, but only those specifically enumerated." Stephen Moore brought up this additional historical fact: "Can it be conceived that the great and wise men who devised our Constitution," asked South Carolina Senator William Drayton in 1828, "should have failed so egregiously as to grant a power which rendered restriction upon power practically unavailing?" And then he asked the question that is really the essence of the issue: "If Congress can determine what constitutes the general welfare and can appropriate money for its advancement, where is the limitation to carrying into execution whatever can be effected by money?" ("The Unconstitutional Congress," hoover.org). --Cassandra Nathan's Save America, Save the World, p. 76 Amendments IX and X, however, would allow states and/or the people to address this area as well as many others that the feds seem to have appropriated for themselves.

Is health care a right responsibility or privilege?
Health care is provided by other people, people who expect to be paid. So your question is really, "Is the doctor's labor mine by right? Or do I have the responsibility to actually pay him for his efforts?" It's a responsibility. And a privilige in a sense, as no one is compelled to learn medicine, or having learned it, compelled to work for you. But by the 13th amendment forbidding slavery, it cannot be a "right".
