I think you're off base. They're not creating a birthright but simply a benefit. The federal government providing benefits to citizens has become common practice. Forty acres and a mule goes way back. Homestead Act. If it were unconstitutional, it would surely have been ruled so by now.

No one is talking about 'birthrights' and no one is talking about 'free health insurance or free medical care.'

Again, you are trying to discuss an issue by interjecting false premises.

Or did you think healthcare in Europe, Canada, and the UK was free?
