I think privilege is extreme but I also think considering it a right is a bit extreme as well.
I consider it a “need” not a right or a privilege

I kind of think it's a need as well. Basic needs that should be meet as part of our RIGHTS as citizens.

Not a right but the right thing to provide.

These are basic needs that a society should assist providing to those who cannot provide for themselves. Where there is room for debate is the definition of who can't provide for themselves. It is also a question of quality.
What is the quality of the food and shelter that we provide? At least with food there is abundance. With housing, we can build more in a variety of cost effective ways.
Health Care is a challenge. It is delivered by highly skilled, talented people. The more we make it a right, the more that the government will be forced to control costs by reducing reimbursement. I don't know about you, but, I wouldn't want to negotiate with the government for what I charge for a service. So, in the long run, making it a right will reduce quality for all but the most wealthy.
