The Preamble to the Constitution lays out the five guiding principles of the Constitution: (1) establish Justice, (2) insure domestic Tranquility, (3) provide for the common defence, (4) promote the general Welfare, and (5) secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.
The physical and mental health of citizens is a component of promoting the general Welfare.
“The origins of the United States Public Health Service can be traced to the passage, by the 5th Congress of the United States, of “An Act for the Relief of Sick and Disabled Seamen” in 1798. This act created Marine Hospitals to care for sick seamen. They were initially located along the East Coast, at the harbors of the major port cities, with Boston being the site of the first such facility, followed later by others including in the Baltimore vicinity at Curtis Bay.”—Wikipedia
