"For example, a right to health care" But we have a right to health care, at least where I live, and I'm not aware of doctors' rights being compromised. Nothing's forcing them to work for the National Health Service. That sort of right merely compels the government to implement certain policies (i.e. hiring enough public sector doctors). I was thinking more along the lines of anything tax pays for (so yes, healthcare does work as an example, but not in the way you suggest). Presumably, taxing people is a violation of their negative right to be left alone. Yet tax pays for many good things, and I don't want to live in a place where it doesn't exist.
