Hence why the topic is being debated within the Houses of Congress amongst the State representatives; if the States decide by a two-thirds majority to make healthcare a federal issue, then so it will be, and it is perfectly legal under the Constitution.

I know that, but as of right now, it is unconstitutional and hopefully their legislation will be shot down to keep it that way.

Last time i checked, America stands for democracy. The constitution can be changed. If there is a vote and the majority want universal healthcare., then that is the american thing to do.

Last time you checked, you were wrong. The USA is not a democracy, it's a republic, and democracy is almost as bad as tyranny since it is nothing more than mob rule.

Uh oh, looks like someone doesn't know their Bill of Rights. The Tenth Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. Establishing health care is not a power delegated to the United States, and is therefore a reserved power of the state governments.

[QUOTE="STAR_Admiral"][QUOTE="fidosim"][QUOTE="Locke562"] Sure, but the ranking doesn't necessarily tell the story of U.S. health care. Most Americans have health insurance, and the quality of care in the U.S. is pretty first rate.

Its pretty first rate for the wealthy

Public education is managed on a state level. It is most likely infeasible to have healthcare on a state level, and it would be unconstitutional if the federal government started universal health care. As it should be. Keep the federal government out of as many things as possible.

you keep saying that until your sick and your insurance turns you down.

I value liberty and the Constitution more than my welfare. Government needs to stay the **** out of my life as much as possible.

I don't know why Christians nowadays insist on "proving" God. The whole point of faith is to make illogical leaps to accept a higher power known as God without any proof.

Why can't the thought of everything having order and balance in the universe be proof of god's existence?
Tsimcluckis

Someone didn't learn about the scientific method.

And lol at the notion of "order and balance in the universe." The universe is chaotic and there is a pretty recurring presence of asymmetry.

The Man Who Sold the World. I don't find the original enjoyable.
Nifty_Shark

Bowie is infinitely better than Nirvana.

Warren Zevon - Knockin' On Heaven's Door

Not so much in terms of just the music, but the fact that this was on Zevon's last album with Zevon knowing he was going to die soon, gives it much more meaning than when Dylan originally performed it.

John Lennon - Stand By Me

It's John Lennon. Enough said.

CCR - I Heard It Through the Grapevine

Turned a good Motown song into an outstanding rock and roll epic.

Hawkwind - Cymbaline

Although the Floyd is my all-time favorite band, I have to give credit where credit is due and admit that Hawkwind's version seems like a tighter and refined version of the original.
