Where does the constitution authorize national health care ?

it is in the constitution. the liberals wrote it in with crayon.

Hillary has the solution:

Clinton Takes $1 Million From Insurance Cos, Plans to Force All

Americans to Buy Private Coverage

It doesn't have to be specifically authorized, as long as they don't break any constitutional laws implementing it.

WC Steel: I agree with you, however a large part of our population has proven that they aren't responsible enough to care of themselves. That being said, the burden still shouldn't be placed on the taxpayers, especially the middle and lower class. There is enough wasted spending in our budget to take care of this.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

They are twisting Promote the general Welfare. It means protection. The Idea is small government. but they don't think people are responsible enough to take care of themselves.

I am against any govt run healthcare (the govt never does anything efficiently or cost effectively) But it could be argued that in the Preamble is the case for govt healthcare ("provide for the general welfare")

i think they are just given the overall power to tax ?

how they spend the money is up to them. the need not be accountable. they know how to slip laws in when people are not watching. they know how to package a law to us / make us think that the law will be good to protect us or something and really it is just "spin" , they have an ultimate gain , reason for the that usually always involves money. they want our money.
