If it were an exception, we wouldn't be having a debate about healthcare coverage in the US.

We will always have this debate since the scope of healthcare will continue to grow.

Today advanced robotic bionic prosthetics are experimental prototypes. In 100 years, people will be arguing that access to bionic limbs should be a universal human right.

And they would be right to do so, because "rights" are not inherent, they're simply social agreements and are thus always up for negotiation. Nature doesn't provide people rights, people do.
