"The Constitution is just a piece of paper" - G.W. Bush

then kill every member of congress who supports medicare

Members or society are not obligated to support one another at the point of a gun having their property stolen from them by a tyrannical government. I'm a sick and tired of you entitled, parasitic, freeloading leeches. Please join with the other parasites and form a socialist cooperative instead of sucking the life out of the productive.

Exactly, charity cannot be mandatory. Volunteer charity (is there really any other kind?) is more efficient than any government program.

Ah, Mr. End Of Discussion, I see you are a supporter of tyranny. Goodie for you. That's exactly what the Constitution was meant to stop.

Well, the Declaration of Independence affirms we have the right to "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. We can't have any of those if we have a life threatening illness but can't afford to see a doctor.  "...members of a society are obligated to serve and protect each other." --Steffie Woolhandler, MD

There are things called positive and negative rights. A negative right means x can't prevent you from doing y. A positive right, like, for example, a "right to have an education" or a "right to healthcare", or even, in finland's case, a "right to high speed internet" means that x has to force w to pay for you doing y.
Don't you think people got sick in 1789? If so, why didn't the founding fathers include healthcare in the constitution?

The Constitution doesn't say that 2 and 2 is four either, but we know it is. A lot of things aren't included in it. They couldn't be expected to think of everything. That doesn't mean that we shouldn't have a national health care system. This is a democracy and the majority wants it. End of discussion.

then if the majority wishes to end gay marriage you should allow them to do so. also more people strongly oppose the democrat healthcare plan than strongly support. basically your statement is silly as you ignore the tenth amendment

Obama's push to make health insurance mandatory show that he does not respect the constitution.
