> I think the discourse about "rights" is part of the problem in US politics I think the definition is a very important distinction, although you're right about outcomes being a binding agent. I don't believe that health care is a right. A right is something that another person doesn't provide. This "me" movement has really clouded everyone, thinking they are entitled to everything, even if what they want to be entitled to compels another person to provide it, thereby infringing on that person's rights. So while I don't think it's a right, healthcare is a good idea as an investment and is a social good. So I agree on the positioning you suggested to get both sides to come together. It's the right thing to do and look at all the tangible benefits we could get from it....
