And the only thing that matters to the US citizen is the US constitution, and no where does it way healthcare is a right. You always have to make some off the wall BS straw man argument and of course call people stupid, when in fact if you had a fucking clue, you would know that the federal government pushing this is unconstitutional. This is a decision to be made at the state level. And since you don't agree I can only say, well tuff shit.
That's a weak argument...
Strict Constitutional adherence would eliminate about 98% of US law, for example:
-there's no mention of income tax in the Constitution;
-there's no mention of the Federal Reserve ("only Congress shall have the power to print/mint money");
-there's no mention of an army (the word "militia" is used in the Second Amendment)
-there's no mention of a space program (it was the eighteenth century)
-there's no mention of foreign interventions (Iraq, Afghanistan...?)
Let's get realistic: the US signed up to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which declares healthcare a basic human right.
The US government already provides taxpayer-funded government-run totally inclusive free-access unlimited socialised healthcare at NO COST to those receiving it... it's in Gitmo, but nonetheless.
Why don't Americans want, say, France's system... full coverage, best system in the world, and half the price you're currently paying?
Do Americans think they deserve LESS than "enemy combatants"... propagandised much?
