Congress still denying health care

Congress has no authority to grant "health care."

Once you consider this seventh element, it becomes clear why this
instrument contains within its design the revolutionary concept of
amendment. The tenthers can cling to their notions and
misinterpretations as much as they like. It doesn't change the fact
that rights and protections granted to one group tend to expand over
time to include everyone else and their descendents. That's a logical
and inevitable consequence of the constitution's design. We saw that
for voting rights, property rights and civil rights. The right to basic
health care will be no different.


By the same argument, you could ask why is the government promoting the
muslim religion and stamping out the Christian religion.
