The Constitution is a living document, and the roll of government must be able to change to suit the times. Public health care would have been impractical in 1776, but if you look at every other industrialized country in the world it seems to have become quite practical. So we adapt in order to survive.
Anyway, we don't need an amendment for public health care any more than FDR needed one for the New Deal. There are perfectly legal and not-unconstitutional ways to have public health care.
