you don’t have any right to an attorney unless the state is trying to lock you up.
there is unlikely, almost certainly, never to ever be found a constitutional right to health care, even in the odd penumbra that some courts have found rights to dwell. But I could be surprised. I don’t know about the whole taxation to pay for it; I would assume congress could figure out a way to write it so it passes muster.
I would consult with an attorney before relying on my interpretation of the constitution, however. I’d hate for you to say, hey, scaredy cat told me the constitution means X, only to find out, much to your chagrin, a future Supreme Court interpreted it to say Y. Scaredycat said i don’t have a constitutional right to smoke pot, or I did have a constitutional right to a colonoscopy, and somehow he ended up being incredibly wrong, and my bong has been found to violate the commerce clause? The last thing you’d want to do is actually read the constitution, because it doesn’t mean anything without the commentary, and the commentary is very long and painful and stretches over hundreds of years of case law, and it’s the case law that makes the constitution meaningful. Kinda like the Torah is cool, but it’s the talmudic commentary that makes jews jews.
