Bingo. That’s the word from the White House today.

Your rights? They come from Obama. Ladies and gentlemen, the constitutional scholar in chief:

We’ve heard over and over that “health care is a right.” In the president’s weekly address, he announced that “health insurance” is now a right.

[I]n the United States of America, health insurance isn’t a privilege – it is your right.  And we’re going to keep it that way.

Say what?

Evidently Obama is done kvetching about being “constrained” by the Constitution.

We’re not sure we want the answer to that last one.
