Promote the General Welfare

It's in Everyone's best interest if all citizens (and all humans for that matter) have adequate shelter, nutritious food, healthcare and Education
I could add transportation and access to information.
These are things that one can give themselves (all resting on education). More likely, these are things they get from someone else.
Should they have all access to these things? Equal to everyone else in society? Or should they have access according to their ability to compensate?
Should the person providing these services be forced to provide the service to all (even if they do not want to provide the service to some or any). Or should society allow a larger market of providers?

The holder of a negative right is entitled to non-interference,
while the holder of a positive right is entitled to provision of some good or service.
