"Already, Obama and Bush before him, have shredded our Constitution and used it for toilet paper. We have no protections left and they are steadily eroding our basic Freedoms. We're on a slippery slope and sliding down the slope to Tyranny fast."

You're a Tea Partier now, MM. Send money to Ted Cruz, immediately!

>What most Americans fail to realize is that when a program of this magnitude is put in place and at its center is massive price control, it is an extreme lurch to Communism.

It's not price control. Go on healthcare.gov and see how it works for you. It's a competitive marketplace that's just a hell of a lot more transparent for the consumer than what we've had up until now (you get to see dozens of plans lined up side by side! That's great!) and has some rules.

It's a free market, but not one that's entirely unfettered and certainly one that's better for the consumer.

With Obamacare, they have drawn up massive lists of every conceivable procedure and they have set the prices for those procedures that the government is willing to pay


Since the government doesn't pay for procedures, I am dubious that such lists exist for Obamacare. You wouldn't happen to have a link for that, would you?
