Thought the preamble holds no actual legal power, I think it represents what the was originally intended for the constitution.
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." I believe this alone says that the people have the right to determine what is "general welfare" so privatized health company's outside of the governments influence would be the only ones that have the right to establish a health care system. However the Federal Trade Commission Act of 1914 over steped its bonds (In my opinion) by implemnting this in there bill "(2) The Commission is hereby empowered and directed to prevent persons, partnerships, or corporations, except banks, savings and loan institutions described in section 57a(f)(3) of this title, Federal credit unions described in section 57a(f)(4) of this title, common carriers subject to the Acts to regulate commerce, air carriers and foreign air carriers subject to part A of subtitle VII of title 49, and persons, partnerships, or corporations insofar as they are subject to the Packers and Stockyards Act, 1921, as amended (7 U.S.C. 181 et seq.), except as provided in section 406(b) of said Act (7 U.S.C. 227(b)), from using unfair methods of competition in or affecting commerce and unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce." Source: http://www.fda.gov/RegulatoryInformation/Legislation/ucm148712.htm This directly subverted the purpose of the constitution which was to give the power to the people. If congress has simply opened the borders between states for health care prices would have dropped significantly and more people would have coverage /job's from all the branch offices opening up. But to get back on topic, No i dont not think the constitution supports a Government run health program. However Citizen run Health care is within our rights of the constitution. |
