You can have a right to service. Even if it's just being able to sit a lunch counter, or attend a school.

You can also have a right to seek or provide medical care. Those rights are about to be taken from many of us.



This gets really messy if the service is simply unavailable for whatever reason. If it's your right then should the government get involved in coercion? Mandates? If it's unaffordable, price controls?

Calling a service a right is fraught with moral hazards.
