I want our Federal Government to provide for things in which it is Constitutionally obligated to address. No more, no less. Healthcare is not a Constitutional Right. Let the free market decide. Encourage competition. If money needs to be provided to those who truly cannot afford healthcare, let the state and local governments worry about it.

I know many, many people who claim that they cannot afford healthcare. These same people have financed cars, smart phones, cable tv, etc. For most people, it's not a question of being able to afford healthcare, it's a question of prioritization.
