No, not my problem if you don't have a car, internet, food, new clothes, shoes, cellphone, or "next technology" to stay alive or competitive with the next guy on the block. There is nothing in the US Constitution that states a requirement of Housing, Food, or Healthcare. If you find it somewhere embedded within the Constitution or any of the amendments, particularly the Bill of Rights, please let me know.

I'm curious as Americans often speak of something being in (guns) or not in (healthcare) the Constitution - just because something is or is not there does that preclude things changing? You have amended your constitution many times but some people reference the constitution in a biblical manner - i.e., if it's not in the Constitution then it doesn't really matter.
Most of the developed world considers accessible, relatively equitable and affordable healthcare to be a fundamental right or something close to it - perhaps the best way for this to change in the US would be to get the constitution amended and put the matter to bed.
Might that happen one day?
