I guess I am. I’ve heard ridiculous rates of government dependence in some European countries. Can’t find the references right now, but in some cases the rate of dependence becomes dangerously close to more people mooching off the state than there are productive members of society.

It seems clear that this bothers many conservative minded people. I can totally understand that. “Bothered” would barely describe the Bush years from my point of view. The truth seems to be that health care IS all the terrible things people are talking about. But many people feel like that is the price for helping people. Another thing that boils down to point of view.
