PROMOTE--NOT PROVIDE

One of the most bewildering (not to mention disturbing) aspects of the ObamaCare debate has been the oft repeated mantra that all Americans have the right to quality and affordable health care. Sadly, when those chanting this formula are questioned as to where this right derives from--they quickly spout the typical response--The Constitution.

Truth is, The Constitution makes absolutely no provision for nationalized health care. In fact--it makes no provisions whatsoever for any of the socialistic programs (affordable housing, welfare, etc.) that have not only been a profound bane to taxpayers--but also to the free market system.

Remember: The Constitution states promote the general Welfare--not provide it.
