Tell me Ma, where in the constitution does it say the federal government must defer to free markets and political campaign money rather than it's enumerated duties outlined in the constitution?
By the way, how do you square the presidents campaign promises to make healthcare coverage for everyone, (we godda do this, folks") to your own 'free market' ideology that was crushing larger portions of the citizenry with it's faster rising premiums than it has been under ACA?

There is nothing in the Constitution that precludes the government from becoming a Health Insurer, however history tells us that they are unable to balance their checkbooks, what would make us think that they could manage national health insurance? It would be a bigger disaster than what Obamacare is today.

There is nothing in the constitution that says that the government must supply health insurance to the population either. As a matter of fact, most people before this enlightened liberal time, attributed that the government's real function was the national defense and that the states should care for the well being of the their respective citizenry. Obamacare perverts the idea that the federal government should do what it is good at and leave everything else to the people.

I do not advocate anything other than watching the results of what happens when somebody wants to create history, does a piss poor job of it, and then throws it over the wall and blames everybody else.
