"Of course none of the nations you exhibit as evidence are the right/left World’s Police Force spending along with their socialized medicine programs a larger chunk of change on national defense than the rest of the world combined........What rightist or leftist in America is willing to give up their government subsidies, their Socialist Insecurity, their food stamps and welfare checks, their foreign police force or their wars, their Drug War, their 11 nuclear powered aircraft carriers and their gigantic wasteful incompetent government? "
Ahhh, but that is the point of ObamaCare. When it comes to nationalized health care the citizens in every country that has such a system insist on keeping it. Insist on it to the point of cutting, say, their military involvement, their drug war, etc. Once nationalized health care is instituted it tends to go to the top of the list. Not one country with nationalized health care has a politiican of any prominence campaigning on dismantling it. If I recall correctly one Canadian Conservative politician merely suggested "adjusting" it and the entire Conservative party was attacked by the other parties. Needless to say that particular politician quickly found himself on the back benches....waaaay back. :lol:
I think it's just common sense. What is more important than the health of the citizens? Can anyone really argue the Founding Fathers would not have included health care if they had any idea how far health care would come? In the days of the Constitution one was more likely to die if they sought health care considering the lack of knowledge regarding bacteria/infections, the snake oil that passed as medicine, etc. And, finally, the lower cost and equal or greater longevity experienced in countries with nationalized health care.
As for “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." isn't it the people who voted for a President who said he would implement a health program? He came right out and told the people his intentions and the people voted for him. If the majority of the people want a health care plan are they not entitled to one?
