Thread: A Health Care Scenario

The government is not bad, it's just expensive. The bigger government gets, the more it costs. Our government was intended to remain small so that the fruits of our labors, our property, remains ours, not taken from us and given away to others. This is liberty, the right to keep what you have earned. Liberty is why our system is superior to the rest of the world.

The reason people are against what Obama wants is because Obama wants to expand government, thereby infringing upon our liberty. That should bother everybody regardless of party affiliation.

BTW commiecat, where would you prefer to receive treatment for an illness, here in the USA or elsewhere?
