Fortunately, that is not how rights are determined. If it were, a desperate man showing up at your door on a freezing night would have a 'right' to stay at your house. Good luck defending that proposition.
Would I turn someone away into a below zero night? No. At minimum I would drive them to a shelter or somewhere as I could not sleep at night knowing that I turned someone out into the bitter cold.
However, you know as well as I do that for all intents and purposes healthcare is a right because we don't allow anyone to go without life saving care. So its a right. Get used to it. Sorry that doesn't conform to how you want reality to work.
