"Faith healing" is not really a Buddhist tradition, neither is walking around with festering sores that can be treated with antibiotics. As an example HH the Dalai Lama was recently hospitalized and received medical treatment.

Like many parts of Buddhist practice the use and acceptance of needful things (food, comfort etc.) is viewed as acceptable. The pursuit of things beyond physical need is a form of lust. In the case of medicine or medical attention, the proper treatment of disease is a physical need, the need for (as an example) cosmetic surgery for a straighter nose, bigger breasts or a flatter stomach would be hard to justify.

Should all citizens have a right under justice to medical care?

The answer to this question is a matter of opinion and great controversy. Some folks believe that everyone should have the right to unlimited medical care. Others believe that everyone should have the right to a limited amount of medical care. Others believe that people should have the right to the amount of medical care that they can afford. I think everyone is in agreement that everyone should have the right to access medical care, but the big controversy is who should pay for that medical care, them, or you, through your taxes.
