Well, then I'm not seeing your loophole. If you are affirming that UHC is not debatable under a "promote general welfare statute", but you are denying that "UHC" necessarily implies that the general welfare is improved, you're making a direct contradiction.
The "readily-available information" on UHC does not necessary promote general welfare. Undoubtably, that would be the intent of pretty much any healthcare reform, but it's aims and goals are far less important than it's ways and means.
Unless I've completely missed your point, you are advocating health care reform that is both 1) universal, and 2) improves the general welfare. These things may very well be contradictory, under most standard definitions of the terms.
