Get ready to be tarred and feathered

Agreed!
Medicare could be expanded to cover not just the elderly but the needy as well.
Or a regulated (Yes some regulations are necessary) unified Medicaid in the 50 states.

With fair and equitable coverage for everyone.
We went to the moon, surely we can plan this one.

In a certain sense I agree with your post. If the church had been doing its job, it is a lot less likely the government would have gotten their hands in it during the 60s. The problem is the government already owned most of the health care system, and they were the ones with the power to fix it. That is like asking the mob to come up with prison reform. When the lawmakers of both parties are beholding to the corruption of lobbyists and corporate greed, and are dazzled by power and money themselves instead of serving the people, then disaster is certain. At least Donald Trump is trying to do what he said. We need real leaders in the Congress, unlike Mitch McConnell.

 

What ever the answer is the long term resolution is not the government. Looking to the government to solve these issues is lazy, foolish, and not the original intent of the constitution.

 

"...promote the general welfare..."

 

Yes, the catch all basket of the left. Also the most abused part of the constitution. Made to justify every abominable thing under the sun.

 

Yes helping your fellow man is so abominable. I swear it sounds like you really do loathe the less fortunate.

 

I doubt that this statement ever meant to encourage slothful, lazy able bodied adult individuals to live off the labor and enterprise of others.

Where in the Constitution does it provide healthcare for vets or even for active duty military personnel?

Constitution for the United States of America

 

Almost makes you wonder that it was deliberately written like that.

What then is your solution? The so-called socialist Scandinavian countries provide much better health care and a more satisfying life for their populace as measured by the UN World Happiness Report of 2016.

Here's the result:

1. Denmark (7.526)
2. Switzerland (7.509)
3. Iceland (7.501)
4. Norway (7.498)
5. Finland (7.413)

13. United States (7.104)

I'm asking the question of someone who made the statement. The burden is on him to support his statement.
