Lack of free universal healthcare in the USA is theft

We can't get healthcare because of the Constitution. It's the root of the problem. The united states of america is called

The "UNITED STATES" operative words being United States. We are not "one country".

America is basically 50 independent states that decided that they would work together. Any state at any time can be like "nope we're our own country now."

We have a national identity for the purposes of war, a national treasury and a national goverment that makes organizing easier.

The problem with healthcare is who regulates it?? The States? Most states can't afford to shit in a bucket. Look at your roads, your bus routes, the number of car-dependent cities in your states. The quality of your schools in the worst areas, all these things cost the state money.

California once tried its own health care system and it would've cost them 400 billion. You know how much Cali makes as a state? 400 billion. Cali is one of the biggest economies in the world, and if they cannot do it then that's a pretty clear signal that it probably can't be done.

The only power that can do health care is the federal government under the system we have now. Why Obamacare failed is 1. probably due to the way people feel about him but 2. is the real answer.

No one wants the feds in charge of healthcare. The federal government is the same government that says weed is right up there with heroin. The same feds running the war on drugs that's been lost and proven several times over.

The only real way for this country to get universal health care is to build it into the Constitution, which means the country needs to have a massive dialogue on this.

We also have to clear up for-profit insurance companies who don't really have your best interest at heart. If health care was regulated by the country it could potentially be better and cheaper, but who gets to say what counts as applicable healthcare is the biggest problem with the debate
