They had access to it... if they bought it.Every American already had healthcare.
The lumberjacks used to buy 'hospital tickets' for 5 bucks a year. All the care they needed at the local hospital if something went wrong. But they paid for it, or their fellow 'jacks did if they couldn't afford it.
No government involvement. The Hospitals hired a salesman to go out to the camps to sell the tickets and did so at a tidy profit for them, and great cost for the lumberjacks.
You still don't have a right to it for free or force someone else to pay for it.
$5 bucks a year? Where do I sign up?
