Health Care or Health Insurance

I am amazed at the number of people who think health care and health insurance are the same thing. FYI- health insurance is not a right or entitlement. The first group health plan came about in 1929- less than 100 years ago. Yet today There are many arguments from the left claiming health insurance coverage- namely the Obama plan- is a Constitutional right in America. They claim that article 1, section 8 gives the President and Congress authority-even a directive to provide universal health coverage. But if universal health insurance was mandated by the constitution, why did it take nearly a century and a half for the first group health insurance company to emerge?
