EXCELLENT, thanks Henry.  This strengthens my contention that health care reform must be done at the state level.  The Fed doesn’t have the authority to do this and does not have a balanced budget requirement.  States do, in both cases.  I would go along with health care at the federal level, if the US does two things: pass a constitutional amendment requiring a balanced budget and pass a constitutional amendment giving it the authority to run health care.  It’s unlikely either of those two things will happen soon.  Until then, state governments period end of story, assuming the original definition of period end of story.
