# Universal rights to services are tricky You can imaginably have a society that automatically produces all the material goods that people need to live. This would be universal rights to goods. [[Classical liberalism arose in an environment that no longer exists]] - healthcare was pretty basic and college wasn’t a badge you needed to collect However, once you start talking about universal rights to services (specifically healthcare and schooling), you are by definition giving people a right to *someone else’s time* That inherently impinges on *their rights* On the other hand policing and firefighting are services effectively provided by the government. On the other hand, they have fairly rigid demand curves, as opposed to healthcare and schooling. ### Related - [[Positive rights vs Negative Rights]] - [[Governing is concerned with rights, legitimacy, claims, and enforcement]]  [Web URL for this note](http://notes.benjaminreinhardt.com/Universal+rights+to+services+are+tricky) [Comment on this note](http://via.hypothes.is/http://notes.benjaminreinhardt.com/Universal+rights+to+services+are+tricky)
