Rights are not "granted" because granting them presumes they can be revoked, many of the rights enumerated by our constitution are now recognized merely as privileges bestowed on us by our government. These rights have been summarily revised by those who believe they can exchange their rights for security.
While our healthcare system is in fact broken, it is not a right, you never have any "right" to take money out of someone elses pocket and redistribute it in any way.
the answer lies not in more government and fewer rights, the answer lies in more rights and less government.
