Doesn't the Constitution say "provide for the General Welfare"? I'd think that starts with health care.
All the rhetoric I hear about being such a great country seems to miss a few points.

They ALSO don't have the research that goes on here. You want to pay 3rd world prices? Then you get 3rd world technology. We pay for the R and D that pay what they can. Proportionally, they pay more, as a percent of income, they pay more.
That's what mommy and daddy are for. Not a nation. If the founders only knew what a can of worms that phrase became. ALL the "welfare" programs use that for an excuse for their existence. You REALLY want cradle to grave care? Like we do for the minorities?
It WAS a great country, up until the 60s and "civil rights". Affirmative action and quotas destroyed our greatness and replaced it with whiners. Once wonderful neighborhoods were shattered by "diversity". It WAS a great country, now it's a bunch of squabbling minorities.
