No, we are a democracy and voting for a welfare state does not lead toward becoming the third reich or communism in a democracy.

The soviet union and Russia were NOT democracies. That is kind of an important point-lol!

So with universal healthcare you take a step away from freedom and towards the collective. If you keep taking steps in that direction, it will eventually lead to the state making all decisions for you, as we have seen in Soviet Russia or Nazi Germany or Communist Cuba and Venezuela. This is the logical and slippery slope that seems to always happen in history.
