Before we can answer that question, we need to define our terms. What is a "right?" If something is a right, does that obligate the government to provide it, or does it mean the government can't stand in the way if I want to purchase it? I have the right to keep and bear arms, but the government isn't buying me guns or ammunition.
Agree and with Anna's statement as well. There are already a lot of free resources out there that people do not take advantage of. These same people sit back and complain that they are too poor or whatever but take no initiative to do something about it. Going to any local hospital or clinic, and people can be well informed of the many services out there. My older sister easily makes half a mil a years as an attorney, but she wants our country to become a socialist country so "everyone" is guaranteed the "right" to free health care and other things. Simply put, she doesn't want to use her own money to take care of herself and wants the government to pay for everything. Geez!
