Where do you draw the line and why?

Logically speaking I think an argument can be made that free food makes more sense than free health care.

I'm actually really interested someone explaining this...
It's what the people of the country want. Of the people, by the people. Some would say we don't have a right to roads, police, or schools. These are all things that our government provides. It is based on the wants and desires of the people. I don't think this has anything to do with rights, but services we want our government to provide.
