Since the Constitution doesn't explicitly give the Federal government the authority to be a health care provider to the people and the 10th Amendment states that any power not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, the authority to provide health care is reserved to the States respectively, or to the people, the President was correct with his veto.



Amendment [X.]

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
