"If the medical system is ever mismanaged to the point of insolvency, should the government have the ability to violate a constitutional right to get things back in order? If they are allowed to violate that right, presumably they are able to violate other “rights” in the same class depending on the circumstances as well."

Well yes?

Some rights may be absolute. Some others may be limited. Things are rarely absolute. Democracies are more than their respective constitution. They also rely on their political culture and how healthy it is. Even if your constitutional norms are supposedely "weak", does it matter in the end? It's not a bench of judges who are gonna protect your rights, but citizens as a whole.

That's why this whole argument that positive rights being displayed as "flaws" doesn't make much sense to me. And why guaranteeing access to proper healthcare sounds to me like a well balanced risk.

What is more likely? Than the State will turn you into a slave through this positive right to healthcare, or that you will end up dead by lack of said guaranteed access to healthcare ?
