Note the word National in "National Healthcare Program".
The intent behind changing the meanings of words is analogous to baiting a net to catch a bird.
The bait is a federation of independent states, where people are free in those states, and then the switch (bait and switch) is an all-powerful, consolidated, Nation State, which thereby catches all those birds that were once free.
It would be nice to be free from insults aimed at me personally, at my character. It is as if the subject matter does not matter. It is as if what does matter is my personal character. Why? Is that just another form of censorship? The same applies to creating fictional words written by some fictional character, and then suggesting that I wrote those words. Why do that, why resort to deception?
Malancton Smith, in a Debate in New York, on June 20th, 1788, is on record exposing the bait and switch job being done by the aristocratic gang. The aristocratic gang included Slave Traders, Warmongers, and Central Banking Frauds, and they were out for blood, just not their own blood.
The point of pointing out the difference between a voluntary association for mutual defense, and an involuntary association for the benefit of a few at the expense of everyone is explained well in the words offered by William Watkins in his book titled Reclaiming the American Revolution: The Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions and Their Legacy.
The point is:
"Without competition from other units of government, the national government would have much less incentive than Tennessee would to modify the objectionable policy."
In a federal system, which is not a national system, those who object to the policy of the national system have other national systems to choose from within the same federation of independent nation states. Those choices include choices of "policies" such as subsidized slavery. If you don't want to pay for your own enslavement, then you can move to a nation state that does not subsidize slavery. Daniel Shays, for example, went to Vermont. Other slaves could run away from slavery to Vermont, or they could run to Rhode Island. Pennsylvania was also a sanctuary for runaway slaves.

George Mason:
"Mr. Chairman, this is a fatal section, which has created more dangers than any other. The first clause allows the importation of slaves for twenty years. Under the royal government, this evil was looked upon as a great oppression, and many attempts were made to prevent it; but the interest of the African merchants prevented its prohibition. No sooner did the revolution take place, than it was thought of. It was one of the great causes of our separation from Great Britain. Its exclusion has been a principal object of this state, and most of the states in the Union. The augmentation of slaves weakens the states; and such a trade is diabolical in itself, and disgraceful to mankind; yet, by this Constitution, it is continued for twenty years. As much as I value a union of all the states, I would not admit the Southern States into the Union unless they agree to the discontinuance of this disgraceful trade, because it would bring weakness, and not strength, to the Union."
