Quote from ..........:

The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;



Welfare
welfare n. 1. health, happiness, or prosperity; well-being. [



Welfare in today's context also means organized efforts on the part of public or private organizations to benefit the poor, or simply public assistance. This is not the meaning of the word as used in the Constitution.


Btw,the second quote sounds like an opinion

Your delusions are on display. the govt does not owe you health , happiness or prosperity only that it should refrain from impeding you nor compelling others in your pursuit of such conditions.

Quote from PiggyBank:

Your interpretation that it means we are all to foot the bill for the uninsured sounds like an opinion. This site was also up long before this debate began, and I read this exact def like 2 years ago and it is the same today.

What about the other issue?

When the Constitution says that the Congress is to provide for the general welfare of the country,and the definition of welfare includes health and well being it doesn't get any clearer then that imo

What I want is the ability to buy Health Insurance

Go ahead for Christ's sake.

If you can't find someone to value it insure yourself.

Are you going to address the other issue or be a coward?

Why do you suppose they only put promote in the preamble when directly referencing the blessings of liberty to ourselves but use provide when it references the entity of the United States in your misapplied quote ?

No one is discriminating against you so save your false indignation.

Once again it boils down to YOU wanting to force others to pay for your wants.

Some people just might call that selfish & greedy.
