When asked by CNSNews.com what specific part of the Constitution authorizes Congress to mandate that individuals must purchase health insurance, Sen. Roland Burris (D-Ill.) pointed to the part of the Constitution that he says authorizes the federal government ''to provide for the health, welfare and the defense of the country.''
“Under state law, we have every one required to have automobile insurance,” ... “Now, think about that...
so, under this here, we’re providing in the legislation where every one would be able to acquire health insurance.”
In fact, the word ''health'' appears nowhere in the Constitution.
[Last time I checked:
"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."
The 10th Amendment of the United States Constitution.]
