Under the the 10th Amendment, nearly all powers in this country-—except those spelled out in the US Constitution-—were allocated to the STATES. Let’s say, for example, the state of Vermont wanted to implement its own single payer (government run) health plan-—like they have in Canada. They could that if they wanted to. I would not like it all. But states do have the power to mandate and regulate health care, the federal government has no such power.
So let’s get this straight:
Are you in favor of Socialized healthcare, as implemented by either Romney or 0bama?
This is a “Yes” or “No” question. Please advise.
The Tenth Amendment does not contravene Article 4 Section 4, nor does it give the states “nearly all powers”—certainly not any power to turn from republican governance to socialist.
