Reply #15: Single Payer would be constitutional

[terrell9584]

As it would be a public system with public money. What is unconstitutional is the federal government forcing citizens to buy a private product. How you can read the constitution and not come to this conclusion I do not know. Many things are ambigious in it. This one is not. The intent is pretty clear and even if you adopt the "living document" idea it doesn't mean that the constitution says the exact opposite of what is in the text and the text is what damns this thing.


I believe everyone should have access to quality health care but I also support the U.S. Constitution and the best way to do it is a single payer system with large tax increases on the rich with very little paid by the working and middle classes. It's the only fair way to do it.
