> Are common American citizens able to afford and obtain reasonable health care?

"Should common American citizens" ... is a question.

This already implies a country's citizens having access to health care without financial barriers is a good idea already :)

[Note that I'm in the EU, I have access to affordable health care by default and I like it that way. But I don't think everyone in the US thinks like that. Or even understands what it means.]

Agree.

It is same thing with higher ed. Everyone should have college degree . Now even without everyone having it but just 3-4 times then before means there are tons of graduates without jobs, low paying jobs commensurate to years in education and heavy load of debt.

The question from start had to be Should everyone get a college degree?

Define all kinds of privilege/benefits as rights. And then move on to ask innocent questions as Is even asking for our rights politics?

"Should common American citizens" ... is a question

"How should..." is the really important and interesting question. Even when everybody answers yes, which most people do, to the "should" question they will often completely disagree on the "how should" question.
