Please cite to me the specific section of the Constitution that gives Congress the authority to create a healthcare program of any kind.

See, that’s the real issue here is that Congress has no business creating a health care bureaucracy.

BINGO. But we are allowing them to do so. Fool us once, shame on them. Fool us twice, shame on us. And we have allowed them to screw us way too many times.

I don’t pretend to be an expert on insurance or health care but I do know when I was growing up health care was affordable even for those without insurance other than truly poor people and there were charity hospitals for them. Insurance rates were very reasonable then too.

As more people became insured the cost of both insurance and health care went up. The more the government got involved the more insurance and health care went up as well.

It would be great if there was a way to get both the government and insurance companies out- seems to me people dealing directly with providers really worked.

I also know there used to be a lot of Catholic hospitals but not sure what happened to that.

It just seems it gets more and more expensive to get health care, and insurance as it has been recently is not an affordable option to pay for health care.

I thought the key might be changing and/or doing away with regulations on insurance as far as where it would be sold to encourage competition thus lowering costs. Now I don’t seem to hear people talking about that either.

Please cite to me the specific section of the Constitution that gives Congress the authority to create an old-age retirement pension plan.

Please cite to me the specific section of the Constitution that gives Congress the authority to create a disability pension plan.

Please cite to me the specific section of the Constitution that gives Congress the authority to create sustenance plan for women, infants and children.

Please cite to me the specific section of the Constitution that gives Congress the authority to create a sustenance plan for temporary aid to needy families.

Please cite to me the specific section of the Constitution that gives Congress the authority to create a supplemental nutrition assistance program.

Obviously, the Congress has no authority to create any of these. They must ALL be abolished.
