I don't see assignment at all. If you mean actual parameters bind to formal parameters as if by assignment, sure -- but nothing in the existing function head syntax conflates or abuses the = operator.

I do not believe there is any declaration here. This is simply sugar for

  constructor(name, health) { this.name = name; this.health = health; }
