There are Constitutional backdoors for everything, including universal healthcare. One could easily interpret "promote the general welfare" to include, but not be limited to, universal healthcare. Boom, done. Constitutional.

It's not black and white. The US isn't socialist enough, of course, but we couldn't operate in a pure socialist system (if there is such a thing). What you said above is still meaningless. Government gave the world roads. So there, boom, you're wrong.

Ad hominem is a logical fallacy. In other words, what you said had flawed logic. It has nothing to do with thick skin, it has to do with arguing a point that makes no sense.

Socialism is anti-class by nature. Capitalism supports a class system by nature. It's not a rule, but they each tend to be that way in theory and practice. So, actually, universal healthcare is anti-classism. And you can see that in Canada, the UK, and especially France (where everyone is treated like they're millionaires, it's nuts).

I have one of the best programs Kaiser offers. I also happen to have had a coarctation of the aorta repair done. That kind of medical condition tends to complicate things.
