“Collective rights” such as rights to health care, housing, work, food, etc..., are incompatible with individual rights such as freedom of speech, religion, and right to property. As proof, these “rights” were first found in the Soviet constitution.

When these rights come into conflict with each other, as they must, government sets itself up as the arbiter of those competing rights. When it does that, rights are no longer rights but licenses, like a fishing license, to be granted and revoked as the government sees fit.

Well good news and bad news- they get free healthcare now but they can only afford a pint of castor oil for each person. Hope this cures what ails you.
