Health Care Bill: Prescription for Disaster

The founding fathers disagree. That is why there is no mention of health care in the declaration of independence, the body of the constitution, or the bill of rights. So until we amend the constitution, the federal government has no legal authority to provide heath care or health insurance to anyone. Don't you think people got sick back in 1776? Don't you think we had doctors back then? If our founders believed health care was a right, they certainly would have included it it our founding documents. The fact that they specifically left it out proves that it is not a right!
