That is such a copout. The concept of health care didn't exist when the Constitution was created. Words like "General Welfare" are there so that the Constitution can be interpreted per the standards of current times. Otherwise we'll be using standards and practices developed over 200 years ago that aren't equipped to deal with modern times.

For the same reason that we all have to carry auto insurance.
