Mr. President,
You must now urge the Congress to do their duty under Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution.:
"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;"
Without a doubt, health care has been shown, as Article I, Section 8 provides that laws to promote the general welfare is a duty of Congress. The second part is that such laws must be borne by all the states in an equal fashion through taxation.
It is time to forcefully explain this duty to the people of the United States. This is a Constitutional obligation of the Congress and it is time to end this too common suffering of lack of health insurance and its lack of accessibility to proper health care for all our citizens. The Constitution seems to even demand that it is for all not just for some. It must be clearly declared a universal asset and necessity. Too many feel it is a privilege or a simple commodity belonging to those of a certain class or a certain segment of our society. Our national document says differently. It is past time that these Tories among us be set straight. They live in the United States of America where all can be guaranteed survival by our founding laws. To let them think otherwise is a grave injustice. The time has come to act and put this too excessively powerful noisy group in their proper place. They will only benefit from a national health care insurance law. The law must be passed in spite of them. We will have to leave it to the future for them to realize it.
