i really think with smart people like mark warner and others you have on your program, we could do somethingat will stand the test of time. but where we are today does not do that. >> senator warner, let's just follow up on mr. corker's idea of interstate insurance competition to keep down costs and give better choices to individuals. in the excerpts to mr. obama's speech, i just don't see any mention of that. what's your take on the interstate insurance competition. >> i think that ought to be part of the mix. we've got to make sure there's more competition. this whole debate about options and what kind of incentives to have additional competition. we ought to make sure there's more of a free market in health care. we don't have that right now. but one thing where bob and i will probably also agree, the option of doing nothing is also a financial disaster. if you look at those same budget deficit projections, what is driving our deficit more than anything is growth in medicare and medicaid. if we do nothing, average families are going to see their insurance premiums double over the next ten

the past week, congressman jim cliburn, the number 3 ranking democrat on the house, and senator mark warnera freshman democrat from virginia, have basically stated publicly the same thing when asked about where in the constitution is a authorized for the federal government to manage health care. they basically have said, "much of what we do is not in the constitution," the implication being, "we do what we think it's right and whether the courts were about whether it is constitutional," forgetting that they have taken an oath to uphold the constitution. one would think they would be familiar with what is in it. neil: you argue that almost anything they come up with would be a nonstarter >> constitutionally> correct. they point to a clause in the constitution which permits them to regulate interstate commerce as the authority for them to regulate all of healthcare. if you and i go to the doctor, even if we cross state lines to get there, we are not going for a commercial transaction. we are going there to receive advice or treatment to improve our health. this is in no way with the congress
