For example, their obsession with "everyone should have access to education" has made education crappy because we have to dumb it down for the unmotivated and low-IQ kids. Look at math tests that 5th graders took back in the early 1900s: the average college student today would flunk them. Who cares if fewer people graduated high school back then? That's better than spending $20k per every kid per year to make them learn nothing.
Ditto healthcare. Yea, Obamacare "covered" millions of people, but that doesn't mean that Medical Doctors will see them as patients.
Rights are universal - they apply to every human equally - but there are no 'positive' rights, like the right to healthcare, education, or any other good or service. Anything that places an unchosen obligation on someone else is not a right.

Post is pure silliness. There is no particularly "dumbing down". There were attempts to force education of all rather than just the above average. And some of it went to far and needs some adjusting. But the thought was a good one.
Obamacare needs fixing no doubt. The alternative being offered is vastly worse.
