We have enough nails in the coffin of limited government as it is. What amazes me is that people still believe in government solutions despite a long and clear record of failure. When has the federal government REALLY gotten anything right? It doesn't even qualify as Hit or Miss. I do appreciate someone bringing the amendment process up, though. At least before the 20s the government understood that if such a sweeping change WERE to be enacted, they had to write it into the Constitution to do it. Too bad that mentality was abandoned a long time ago. If the majority approved National Healthcare, we would all be doomed. We have enough nails in the coffin of limited government as it is.

It would almost be an entire re-write of the document as consolidated power of that nature in DC would be a completely different type of government than the founders created.

States must use these powers to maintain them. However, the tenth Amendment is; an Amendment. It did not exist in the "original Constitution" it was added. The deliberation on health care is for the purpose of an amendment to the National Constitution and amendments are authorized within the Constitution. If single states did their own health care and no National system were in place, ill people would move to States which have health care, breaking the state system. States would still manage their health care within National guidelines.
