Not on the selling price but on the gain in the property over specified limits. Those are $250k for an individual or $500k for a couple. While those limits may seem high it can have an impact on seniors.

Assume a person bought a home 40 years ago in a major metro like LA, NY or Boston. Even with the downtrun in housing those properties have appreciated a lot. The person(s) retire and get hit with an additional tax on their home's increase in value.

The constitution tasks which government levels with the responsibility for managing public health and safety?

The US Constitution says nothing about the management of public health. Therefore, it is a function left to the several states, if they choose to take it up. In most cases, the states have delegated most, but not all, Public Health functions to local governments. However, the Federal government does have a role in Public Health, since it operates an agency called the US Public Health Service.
