The United States is analogous to its obligation to provide military defense, expanding this obligation to include health care for protection against all threats, including diseases.
Just as the military defends against foreign threats and police against domestic ones, health care protects citizens from threats to their well-being, including illness.
The argument arises whether the state is obliged only to guard against human threats or also against natural ones, like diseases and accidents.
From a victim's perspective, the distinction between human-inflicted harm and natural calamities is irrelevant; both require protection from the state's resources.
