There is no power in the constitution granted for the federal gov to mandate and control healthcare. It may seem like an appealing idea to have more people covered, remove pre-existing condition clauses, bolster preventative medicine and primary care and ration care differently but there are other ways to accomplish health care reform.
It is more than
"an appealing idea" it is a necessity, ..because your current system is unsustainable.
This is a realization that most civilized western industrialized countries have come to, ...that's why they have UHC.
The time to act on healthcare reform is NOW before you reach a tipping point, ...cause that tipping point will come.
What do you want explained? That the federal government has no constitutional authority to run health care?
Kazan, ...perhaps it is
YOU that requires an explaination?
The US Constitution is not a document detailing what the government has the authority to do...
...it is a document detailing what the government
MUST do, as well as what it does
NOT have authority to do.
It does NOT grant government authority, it is a 'put people first' document that grants people the authority over their very lives. Furthermore... if you demand evidence, or require proof that the
authority mandate exists within the Constitution for the gov to establish universal healthcare, ...it can be argued it exists in the very preamble itself. As advocates for Universal Health care... we hold these truths to be self-evident.
Please point out for us all, where in the Constitution it says that health care is beyond the government's authority.
