What Did the Founders Say About Healthcare and Welfare?

Back in those days healthcare in most cases was bloodletting.

The founders only meant freedom for the slave owning class Granny, which you are not part of.

Its funny how you teabbagers worship the founders, like The communist worshiped Lenin.

Preamble We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity,  do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

but you righties hate government...you think you will be better off as serfs letting a private owner control your destiny, rather than a government of "we the people"

They didn't even think of such a thing.

now andrewcranky why on earth would you print the words of the constitution these republicans can't comprehend what it means ... that would take some sort of intellect of a 90 IQ or higher ... they've never made it over a 85 IQ

Government is to promote the general welfare, as in the general welfare of the citizens is the foundation to national security .

So what's your definition of "general welfare"?  Promoting something is not the same as making people welfare dependant.  Promoting is not the same as making people dependant on the government for all their needs.
