AMENDMENT XIV
Passed by Congress June 13, 1866. Ratified July 9, 1868.

Section 1.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

And, oh by the way, "ANY PERSON" also means the elderly -- under the 14th amendment, you CANNOT make choices amongst groups or individuals about who would receive - or be denied - health care. ALL must be treated equally.

So not only is this provision blantantly unconstitutional, it would also be unconstitutional to have a separate health plan for congress and the President.

Oh, how cute, you actually expect them to follow the Constitution.
