Your example is a transaction between people (the doctor and you). You don't have a right to that transaction. The other party can withdraw for whatever reason (including not having time).

The freedom to roam is freedom. I understand the point you're trying to make, but the parent comment is correct in the usage of the world freedom, whether you like it or not.

This is not always the case, even with hospitals in the US. Few markets are 100% laissez-faire in the US, and definitely not regulated industries like healthcare.

For example, if you are a hospital in the US that participates in Medicare, you must provide basic treatment to stabilize a patient with an emergency medical condition, or transfer the patient to another facility that can.

nor do mask or vax mandates limit this concept of 'roaming' in any way.
