Another example is "the right to health care." People don't use that to mean that you have the right to pay thousands of dollars for an MRI. They generally mean the government should provide health care.

Well then they are using the word `right` incorrectly.

Yeah the word to use is 'entitlement' which is very different from a 'right'

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rights disagrees with you. So does dictionary.com. Got a better reference for me?
