I think there's room in the Constitution for it. But I get the federalism argument. What if we take the federal government out of it? The Democratic candidate for governor in Florida has proposed a coalition of states creating a single-payer system. What if the voters of individual states elect governors and legislators who promise to enact that sort of program?SFGbob said:I do not believe that we constituted a Federal Government to pay for the certainties in life. You will get old, you will get sick and you will die. The Founders faced all of these same realities when they created our Constitution and there were no provisions for the Federal government to pay for grandma's hip replacement today and or leeches and mercury enemas then.

We've already been over this. General Welfare were things like canals, roads and ports. Not grandma's hip replacement. Paying for someone's hip replacement isn't part of any "general" welfare. You think because they used the word "welfare" they were talking about Food stamps.2001400ex said:

Why not? Is it skepticism about costs and results? Or are there additional reasons (freedom of individual choice, concerns about government dictating care and behavior)? Some combination?SFGbob said:As do I. We'll just have to disagree on whether Medicaid and Medicare are the best systems to do that. Personally, I don't believe that the Federal government should have any involvement in healthcare.

Just heard on the newz the latest models have it turning away from Virginia and clobbering Georgia instead. Crack meterologists at Orkin are telling us to prepare for about 5 or so inches of rain Friday and Saturday. I am sure this will change when REAL God realizes I might make it out of this okay and the storm will turn again and my trailer will float away with me tied to the roof.UW_Doog_Bot said:

Funny enough I just realized we have a fucking night game FS Larry Scott. I have concert tickets so I will be SOL on watching the game live. I will be on social media and phone lock down until I get home and can watch Jake Browning blow our chances at a PAC12 title on a recording.Swaye said:
