Does National Health Care makes you less free?

Peggy Noonan: Common Sense May Sink ObamaCare - WSJ.com: "Under a national health-care plan we might be hearing that a lot. You don’t exercise, you smoke, you drink, you eat too much, and “the rest of us have to pay for it.”"

It would be easy to turn this one around. You do all these things and your country will suffer economically from skyrocketing health care costs. This will make you less free! Obama has pointed out the cost question of health care lately. However, they don't tell people this in Sweden even. At least not yet.

Peggy Noonan tells people that ObamaCare will make you less free. I guess this is a very important principal issue. Conservative people become less free if they have free health care, liberals don't.

I guess it will have to rhyme with your political philosophy. If you think free health care is a right for all, then free you will feel if this is the case. Noonan says in her article that Obama has read the nations mood erroneously. People are not in the mood for free health care, according to her.

Nancy Pelosi said that: "this was like a hundred years ago", about the nation turning down Hillary Clinton's plan the other year. I think she means that the possibility for Americans to say: "we don't care that people die on the streets like dogs" has vanished in the wake of the financial crisis and continued war efforts that are not popular abroad.

I hope time has come for the Nancy Pelosis to win over the Peggy Noonans in Obama's USA.
