The hell it doesn't. It's in the Preamble, right after "provide for

While you guys would love to spin it that way, you damn well know the
founding fathers didn't intend that statement to mean that the gov is
supposed to provide health care or heath insurance to its people. Health
insurance didn't even exist in the US when this was written.

You're fooling no one. You're either being disingenuous, or you're a
socialist idiot.

Man couldn't fly, either, when the Constitution was written, but we have
an Air Force? So, are you saying health care doesn't "promote the
general Welfare", or are you saying the Founding Fathers expected this
country to stay exactly as it was in 1787?

General does not mean individual. One of the primary principals of the
US used to be (until obama) that the individual was free to do what he
what he wanted, as long as it did not infringe upon his fellow citizen.
Health insurance is an individual choice.
