Reporting "healthcare" as a crisis that needs to be fixed by the guvmint
is NOt informative, it is liebral socialist bias. There is NO
constitutional mandate for the fed. guvmint to provide health care or
healthcare insurance.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect
Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquillity, provide for the
common defence, 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.

Some would consider that healthcare could come under "general welfare".
