Well, what makes seeing a doctor a 'human right' and not food?

Because we pay taxes towards it. Take away the taxes we get charged and I'll happily pay £20 a visit to the doctor.
Well, actually, what would happen is I would self-diagnose online and then visit the estate up the road and put in an order for the required drugs.

I'm not familiar with Britain's healthcare system, but I thought everyone was covered by the national healthcare program? Is this not the case?

If they charge for the doctors then it will start becoming like the dentist. Absolutely impossible to find an NHS one, yet you still have to pay your national insurance towards it, I seem to remember that NI used to work out at approximately 7% of my wages WTF should I have to pay more on top of that?? I have already payed for this service, that is why it is a right.
What will happen here is people will not see their GP and those that have a serious problem will let it go so long that it will get worse and the cure is much more expensive in the long run.
PS I haven't been to the doctor in 15years so I am one of those paying for others but I still do not support this scheme. I have friends who have to go every week due to underlying health problems, they also pay NI, are inelligable for benefits and could not pay the £1040 a year that this would cost, and remember that is on top of the prescription charge... If you are unlucky enough to live in England that is.
PS it won't come in no government would survive implementing it.

Under that logic you should also be able to claim asylum in the UK

I don't consider healthcare to be a right in and of itself, but paying taxes for a national healthcare system should at least qualify it as some sort of "contract" between the citizens and government.
