#62. goy has a point. The constitution does not support this kind of legislation.

Congress can legislate on post offices, citizenship, military, law enforcement, trade agreements, roads, taxes, banking, patents. And that’s about it. Everything else is up to the states.

Anybody more knowledegable in this area. Feel free to explain exactly where the Constitution grants Congress the right to legislate on peoples right to free healthcare.

And why would it even be desirable to do this from Washington instead of letting the States do it themselves like Massachussets.

I wonder if the supreme court actually reads the words in constitution? And do they care?
