Boiled down this argument becomes one of what is a right vs. doing what is right.
Health care certainly isn't spelled out anywhere in the Constitution or Bill of Rights, but one could argue that taking care of our fellow countrymen and women is the right thing to do.
How many people feel like their tax money is better spent on defense and weaponry to protect us from dangerous people like the Iraqis when it could be spent on things like dialysis or regular visits to the doctor?
Just because one takes care of their family and themselves all their lives doesn't mean health or circumstances will allow that to continue. The side in favor of covering everyone has a point and it needs to be considered rather than dismissed out of hand.
