@tulpa @alexandra nothing that other people have to provide to you (positive rights) can be "human rights". human rights are only negative rights. the moment you have a right to something someone else provides, you have to either institutionalize slavery, or robbery to provide it.
neither health insurance, nor food, nor water are human rights. they're goods and services like any other.
