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 “If Congress can employ money indefinitely to the general welfare, and are the sole and supreme judges of the general welfare,

I've looked high and low from the Bill of Rights to the other 17 Amendments. I can't seem to find Health Care or Health Insurance anywhere within the Constitution. Wonder why a 501C would be pushing for National Health Care when it's unconstitutional and it's a Democratic goal. Last time I checked we live in a Constitutional Representative Republic or a Democratic Republic. When did we become the United Socialist States of America?
