You don't need to force labor.

As always, you simply need to provide people with a living wage and they will do things. A right to health care would simply become a national health system that is adequately funded. Then the only argument would be, how much do we need to fund that health care system to fulfill our obligation to provide people with a right to health care.

People become medical practitioners for many reasons and will happily practice medicine as long as they can make a living off of it without being coerced or manipulated. A few want to be able to afford a Ferrari, but the vast majority just simply want to help people and be able to thrive.
