Okay. I guess I'm one of those who frequently points out that the Department of Education is unconstitutional, which isn't quite the same thing as saying that public education within a State, under the auspices of that State is unconstitutional. Because it's not.

But the analogy between government education and government heathcare is a flawed one. Whether it is true or not, an argument can be made that forcing children to receive some basic education benefits the public at large as well as the individual child. No similar argument can be made that public benefit accrues from government run healthcare with the possible exception of programs intended to stop the spread of contagious diseases.
