the general welfare clause needs to be specified or taken out completely as it is so vague and can be interpreted in so many ways.

the keyword in that statement is to PROMOTE the general welfare not BECOME the welfare. So to me there is no interpretation its plain and simple. But I guess not everyone is smart lol jk

One has to support it, to promote it. Guess only smart people can figure that one out too. Apparently, it takes some people losing their butts and not having a dime to their name to finally care and support something that is for the wellbeing of all of society. In the meantime, they would rather blindly, stupidly, help in the demise of it, all for the sake of greed and holding onto those high-class ammenities/liabilities like for-profit healthcare.

If a specific healthcare business is bad for society, people will not utilize their services. They will go to a healthcare business that is "good" for society, because generally people are not masochistic.

If politicians and some rich refuse to let the mass have the kind of healthcare they know their nation needs, they run into obsticals. However, those things can be overcome and eventually the masses will get what they want and deserve, despite the greedy people (still hanging onto power). You're right, as a whole, people are not masochistic. It's just a few who like seeing the lower and middle classes grovel, beg, and pay insurance companies (the rich have stock in) that are the problem.

Look, the rich have no control over what you buy or don't buy, government does. (making certain drugs illegal, propping up monopolies through legislation). Everyone can get what they "want and deserve" by choosing what healthcare coverage they want from a private company. What part of this is so hard to understand?

You have masochistic and sadistic mixed up.

Why would businesses like to see lower and middle classes "grovel and beg" when they need their money to survive?

its also only mentioned in preamble. preamble is not law but rather a description of law about to be given. the enumerated powers are the actual law and congress may use those powers to provide for the common welfare. they may also use those powers to ensure domestic tranquility and so on they may not use powers not enumerated in the constitution. they may not go beyond the scope of the enumerated powers to provide for the thing promised in the preamble.

It doesn't need any changing. A person's heart and their care about others, as well as themselves, determines how they view it. Some people just want to feel superior to other people and pay into a scam system (based soley on profit) and screw themselves over, than do what is best for the whole of society and share in the cost. They can't seem to understand that healthcare is a human right.

Healthcare is a human right? So it precedes the right to life, liberty, and happiness from the doctor's standpoint?

Actually, privatized health care is best for society because it's voluntary for each individual involved. You vote with your money.

I don't see how people are better when they support a system funded by theft(public) rather than by voluntarism(private).

Giving health care status of a human right also gives coercion a human right. Via forcing another human to maintain your health regardless if he wants to or not.

Schools would allow the "poor" and "dumb" to attend because they would gain popularity and profit/donations because our culture largly likes to help poor people.

Your last sentence sounds like public school industrial revolution propaganda. Living conditions prior were worse. Capital = civilization.
