Universal healthcare doesn't violate the Constitution, and that's that. It's not a Constitutional issue at all. I was humoring you, but you need to realize that.

The far left uses the judiciary? Like the far right uses the executive? What does that have to do with anything?

Socialized medicine is better for the average person there, and it's better for the super rich here. I, alone, make over $150k a year. I still get shitty medical care. I was turned down for a surgery because it wasn't cost effective. I'm not a celebrity or super rich. I wonder why you'd want a medical system that is only adequate for ~2% of the population.
