Maybe I am confused, but it seems to me that's what I was saying-- they ARE two different questions, and Williams was addressing it within the constitutional framework, rather than a social program choice.

Whether we decide to advance these programs either because they are ultimately cost-effective or because we believe we have a moral obligation to do so, doesn't make them "rights" in the way he was addressing the term.
