Ann Ross of Montebello wrote, "The health care bill is the most anti-American bill this Congress has ever passed. Please tell me where in the Constitution we are guaranteed health care, especially from the government."

REPLY: The U.S. Constitution says,
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, establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

The Declaration of Independence says,
To secure the rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, GOVERNMENTS ARE INSTITUTED in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their SAFETY and HAPPINESS.

~David Galfond of Palmdale stated in the 11/11/09 LA Daily News~
"Republicans are fond of saying,'the first duty of government is to protect the people.' Well, trying to help people keep from starving, not having medical care and losing their homes, certainly is attempting to protect people, isn't it?"

You are aware of the difference, I presume, between "promote the general welfare" and "promote the general welfare state"?
