I listend to an american Congress person this morning discussing this on the radio..and some one called in and asked "Where in teh constitution does it say that congress shall provide a national health care system" and he replied, that "It doesn't but also that many of the things congress does are not in the constitution." he when on to say. "This will only fly if there are enough people who say We want national health care and we are willing to pay for it."
In actuality here in the US what he means is..."We want national Health care and we want to force someone else to pay for it" seeing as how the only people who do not have formal health insurance are people who cannot pay for it.
While I am not happy that there are people who cannot find a way to make a living and earn enough to have some form of health care....this idea of "enough people calling for Nationalized health care" seems very close to what is called "The Tyranny of the Masses"....such a tough subject.
