Little to no discussion on whether there is a constitutional authority problem. Just accept the premise that the federal government needs to be involved and go from there.

The vast majority of members of this site are perfectly aware of the Constitutional issues you cite with respect to health care and the federal government's involvement therewith.

Just because some happen to disagree with respect to how to proceed doesn't mean that anyone has suddenly forgotten about the Constitution.

For instance, your assertion regarding Constitutional authority might apply absolutely to Medicaid, for instance.

For instance, there might be near unanimous consensus here that the federal Medicaid and Medicare "laws" are patently unconstitutional in both theory and practice.

That doesn't mean that the solution is to, say, start a violent civil war immediately in order to solve the "unconstitutional Medicaid" problem.

Adopting a condescending attitude towards those who believe in taking a different approach than someone else is not justifiable.

So thanks for the civics lesson, but I think you'll find that, in general, the average schmuck on FR knows as much about "Constitutional authority" as you do.

Don't be conceited...

You seem to be quite thin skinned today for some reason. It’s your right of course but you could have spent your valuable time and good typing skills explaining your point rather than tearing someone down. Understanding your reasons for your position is much more likely to get someone to reconsider their position than calling them names and putting them down. In fact even if you did explain your position but then put someone down like that; you would have just erased any chance of a civil conversation with that person.

Just a thought...

What was that you said? Oh yeah; “Don’t be conceited”.

You have just perfectly demonstrated ForYourChildren’s point.

Constitutional = send it to the states if not an enumerated power.

LOL

Wow, you sure did make my point, so clearly, so succinctly.

Thanks.

As they say, if you throw a rock into a pen full of pigs, the one that yelps, is the one that got hit.
