Government health care

I am opposed to the Government Health Care of which bills are going through the Congress and the Senate. You may call them what you want, "Health Care Reform" etc. however, they are government provided health care in practice.

Here is why I am opposed.
1) There is nothing written in the Constitution that authorizes the Federal Government to provide health care for its citizens.
2) The massive borrowing and taxes to pay for this boondoggle will cripple the US economy and will drive many doctors out of practice in the US.
3) Health care under these bills will be rationed in effect. This has happened every time that National (Government) Health Care has been implemented.
