How 'bout that? A US Senator that doesn't know what the Constitution says. "promote the general welfare" does not equal "provide healthcare insurance". Idiot.

I can understand not memorizing the constitution. He just should have said, 'let me show you'. Then get a copy and try to find it. Of course, healthcare isnt in there. The best they can do is cite the part that says "provide for the general welfare".

Yeah, baby!

It does not say "provide for the general welfare", but they sure wish it did.

Go, security guard, go!

The Constitution (Section Eight 1).does not say:

"promote" the general welfare !

It says:

"Provide" for the general welfare !

Surely you know the difference betqween Provide and Promote !

If you continue on and read all related 18 Items especially item 18 you wiill find the Congress has the express power to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers and all other Powers vested in this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.

Comprehend ? Synonyms: understand, know, realize, grasp, get, figure out, have a handle on, follow, twig ...

Maybe you should read the Preamble:

Oh, and "provide for the common defense and welfare" does not equal "provide health insurance"....nor does it grant Congress the authority to require any citizen to purchase anything. Item one has to be kept in context.

As others mentioned, yeah it does.

This is what liberals like to cite as having the power to do virtually anything. And I dont agree with their interpretation.

Roland Burris is an idiot...and a corrupt one at that, handed his office by an even more corrupt idiot. And because they are beholden to the race-hustling poverty pimps in their base, the democrats didn't have the balls to deny him the seat.

And even more stupid in thinking that the government telling someone they have to go buy insurance for themselves would be "providing" healthcare insurance.

Its certainly a valid argument that having some sort of public option is "providing for the general welfare". However, MANDATING under penalty of fine that people buy health insurance is certainly not "providing for the general welfare". In fact its the opposite, its providing for the welfare of healthcare corporate profits.

Exactly. The bill is a big give away to the insurance industry.

Why can't we have a single-payer system? It makes the most sense, is the most efficient, and pays for itself.

People should be supporting HR 676 (and Bernie Sanders's Senate equivalent).

No one realized the error, either. Fucking hilarious.
