Sen. Burris Cites Unwritten Constitutional 'Health' Provision to Justify Forcing Americans to Buy Health Insurance
When asked by CNSNews.com what specific part of the Constitution authorizes Congress to mandate that individuals must purchase health insurance, Sen. Roland Burris (D-Ill.) pointed to the part of the Constitution that he says authorizes the federal government "to provide for the health, welfare and the defense of the country." In fact, the word "health" appears nowhere in the Constitution.
The Preamble has this:
provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity
And we certainly have been handing out enough welfare but no, the word "health" is not in there...
