Maybe since you're so versed in America's healthcare history you can point to the constitutional authority for the federal government to be involved in America's healthcare?
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." (Amendment 10, United States Constitution)
"Government is force by definition and corruption by nature. The bigger the government, the greater the force and the greater the corruption."
then we cant go back to the days of the town Dr huh
we can go back to dying much younger
that is what you idiots are asking us to do
the people say no thanks and have said no thanks for years now
So the republican party cheats in elections to protect medical insurance Companies profits
Once you assholes cant STEAL elections we will get universal care
there in fact is a socialistic program written right into the constitution by the founders themselves
the post office
the founders showed themselves that the constitution allows for such programs
Better care. cheaper and covers everyone. A profit making healthcare system will reward the greedy. they will take money out of the sick and injured for fun and profit. Desperate people will pay whatever they have to to survive. When they recover, they are broke and maybe homeless. But at least insurance companies will get richer and richer. In the last 15 years, healthcare costs have gone up over 220 percent. that corrected for inflation. we are being looted.
Since FDR they had tried to create a Medical program for americans, our system has always been lacking, and that is proof, the ama stops progress
“If Congress can employ money indefinitely to the general welfare, and are the sole and supreme judges of the general welfare, they may take the care of religion into their own hands; they may appoint teachers in every State, county and parish and pay them out of their public treasury; they may take into their own hands the education of children, establishing in like manner schools throughout the Union; they may assume the provision of the poor; they may undertake the regulation of all roads other than post-roads; in short, every thing, from the highest object of state legislation down to the most minute object of police, would be thrown under the power of Congress…. Were the power of Congress to be established in the latitude contended for, it would subvert the very foundations, and transmute the very nature of the limited Government established by the people of America.” (James Madison)
To lay taxes to provide for the general welfare of the United States, that is to say, “to lay taxes for the purpose of providing for the general welfare.” For the laying of taxes is the power, and the general welfare the purpose for which the power is to be exercised. They are not to lay taxes ad libitum for any purpose they please; but only to pay the debts or provide for the welfare of the Union. In like manner, they are not to do anything they please to provide for the general welfare, but only to lay taxes for that purpose. To consider the latter phrase, not as describing the purpose of the first, but as giving a distinct and independent power to do any act they please, which might be for the good of the Union, would render all the preceding and subsequent enumerations of power completely useless.
1. It would reduce the whole instrument to a single phrase, that of instituting a Congress with power to do whatever would be for the good of the United States; and, as they would be the sole judges of the good or evil, it would be also a power to do whatever evil they please. (Thomas Jefferson)
"Government is force by definition and corruption by nature. The bigger the government, the greater the force and the greater the corruption."
Good argument. the national government should qualify teachers and nationally judge curricula. Lots of jobs are national or international in nature and it is good to have the same educational systems in every state. You should be able to move to another state and have similar educational experiences.
And that argument about sole decisions is poor. the national government is not a person, but a collection of seemingly expert people trying to elevate education. You can also argue that by voting for these people, the American population is involved . they too are part of the decision making process.
Wrong again, or is it still. the US is at the bottom of healthcare ratings in industrialized nations, dead bottom. By any measurements, they get better health care than we do and better results. And much, much cheaper. When taiwan was going to install a national heath care system, they visited the US to see what they should NOt do.
It is time for the us to nationalize healthcare and save poor disgruntled taxpayers like you a lot of money and provide better healthcare. You will thank us.
then we can nationalize banks.
