Someone else cites the Preamble in support of health insurance reform!

Healthcare reform and the U.S. Constitution

The commentator - for 15 years a hospital financial manager - focuses on the 'justice' clause.

A simple plea: in all policy debates, let's start with the Preamble!
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.
Presumably even the loyal opposition can agree that this is what we're all about. It's a convenient place to start the discussion.
