47. Dude, read the US Constitution

I'll spare you the pain and just point to the relevant paragraph...

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

General welfare = health care.

It's a right, not a privilege. I'd sue the U.S. Government and point to the U.S. Constitution and take it all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court and have it defined.
