Providing for the general welfare includes healthcare. And then Congress has the right to make any law that is 'necessary and proper' for the execution of its enumerated powers (Art. I, Sec. 8, Cl. 18).

...except they are not providing anything for the general welfare; rather they are requiring private citizens provide healthcare for themselves to be purchased from a private entity (which is why I stated that single payer would have been more Constitutional).

PS: though I agree that this law, as enacted, is crappy. But it opens the door to better ones such as universal single payer. Hopefully. :-\

As I asked TLAM, how would you propose creating a single-payer system in THIS nation that would work?
