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.

What about Medicare and Medicaid? The government has been running them for decades and Republicans keep trying to force them into insolvency through budget cuts and other cut backs. So what about Medicare and Medicaid?

Cool, keep medicare and Medicaid. See, we can agree on healthcare. If we don't take care of the elderly, we fail as a society.
