Obviously you don't have a clue.

Funny, that. If I didn't, I would hardly have been engaged enough by the question to respond.

If this were a hot topic for a lot of people, there would be more discussion of it on SI. I've engaged in the topic maybe a dozen times in the decade I've been posting here. Since it's a topic of great interest to me, I engage it whenever I see it and have been known to raise it myself, so that hardly adds up to a hot topic about which lots of people are knowledgeable.

I do not know a single person in 3D who has an interest in this matter. And only a few on SI. Actually, at the moment only Tim Fowler comes to mind. Even thoughtful people mostly care only about what "works."

Which motivates them to do the best job they can. The government has little motivation.

Sure, but that doesn't mean that those businessmen know or care about the constitutional principle. As for the federal government, do you really think anyone there cares about overstepping their constitutional role?

I find it all most unfortunate. But I don't think there's a snowball's chance in the proverbial place of ever mounting a movement to revert to a federal role as defined in the constitution. Certainly not re health care. The only thing even remotely feasible is to slow the move toward centralization down.
