Honestly, that doesn't matter. We are our own nation, with our own laws. Universal healthcare would be illegal at federal level, unconstitutional. The constitution does not provide for it, and the tenth amendment prohibits the federal government from legislating on any issue not specifically mentioned.
If anything it would have to be at state or local level. Or they'll just legislate over the constitutional limits, like they normally do. -----Original Message----- From: Vivec [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2008 4:47 AM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: Great Op-Ed By Buchanan How come other countries are able to provide universal healthcare successfully?
