Answer:

The Preamble of the Constitution
where Health Care is mandated!


The Preamble to the United States Constitution is a brief introductory statement of the fundamental purposes and guiding principles which the Constitution is meant to serve. In general terms, it expresses the intentions of its authors. On occasion, courts have referred to it as reliable evidence of what the Founding Fathers thought the Constitution meant and what they hoped it would achieve.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preamble_to_t...




We the People of the United States,
in Order to form a more perfect Union,
establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility,
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.




Welfare - welfare /ˈwɛlˌfɛər/ Show Spelled Pronunciation Show IPA

–noun 1. the good fortune, health, happiness, prosperity, etc., of a person, group, or organization;
well-being: to look after a child's welfare; the physical or moral welfare of society.

<--FOUNDING FATHER of the United States of America!


Certainly those folks who believe that the reference to a well armed militia gives the right for individuals to bear arms, also believe that promoting the general welfare of its citizenry as stated in the Preamble to the Constitution certainly means that government determines that we, as citizens of this country, have a right to health care. period.
