Peter, I hear this all the time and I'm trying to understand it. In principle, I agree that any expansion of entitlement spending is an increase in socialism. However, exactly why do you think Obamacare is socialist? I know it adds 30 million more insured through mandates, but isn't that just an extension of what we have today? Please list out the elements that you think are socialist and that also are different from what we have today, so that we can debate it more fully.
