I frequently read or hear Health Control supporters responding to opposition, especially opposition that cites fiscal concerns, by citing how much money we have spent in Iraq and Afghanistan.
However, this "defense" of Health Control ignores the simple fact that the federal government is assigned military responsibility in the Constitution. The Constitution does not assign health care or health insurance to the federal government.
Enacting federal Health Control should only be allowed through a Constitutional Amendment.
