If health care is a "right", why isn't college education?
If citizens are owed "free" healthcare, why aren't they owed free college degrees?

Why do universities get to gouge students for 10's and 100's of thousands of dollars for an education which means increasingly less and less?

housing, healthy food, clean water, clean air, transportation, sex, internet, video games, back massages, dieticians, ball massages, clit rubs, vacations, anal bleachings etc. are all a right and should be made such.

Make everyone happy now! Stop allowing old white man to oppress us!

Yup.

Every desire is a "right" according to illiterate moochers who can't think or read.

#1. Healthcare is NOT a right, the fact is the founding Fathers stated that we have rights to life, liberty and property and advocated a government that protects those rights.

#2. People do get assistance with education, in the form of pell grants etc...

But, but, the Founders were rich racist white men who owned slaves and burned homosexuals at the stake using Indians as kindling.

I know, because I went to government school.

Both are a right if you live in a country that values it's people as a resource.

IF you live in a country that takes all of it's money and uses most of it to increase the military industrial complex, and looks at it's people as a liability...

then, no neither one is a right.
