We can't expect extreme specificity given Jefferson passed away nearly 200 years ago (on July 4, 1826, the same day as John Adams, and on the 50th Anniversary of the Declaration Regarding the Reasons and Right of Revolution, now called "Declaration of Independence"). But here's a quote from Jefferson on health, which might be profitably combined with the inalienable rights including but not limited to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
“Liberty is to the collective body, what health is to every individual body. Without health no pleasure can be tasted by man; without liberty, no happiness can be enjoyed by society.” --Thomas Jefferson
Yeah, everybody knows that without health, one's wealth and liberty can't be enjoyed, and one isn't happy.
You got to wonder at people who claim health care's "not a right."
Late in his life, Jefferson wrote to a friend and begged confidentiality until after he died so he could live out his later years "in peace" but Jefferson intimated that if people just followed the logic of the Declaration, real democracy, freedom and equality would inevitably be at hand. I think his quote here lays out another guidestar for us to consider following.
