You are right but infant mortality has little or nothing to do with the cost of health care or how healthy a nation is.
Perhaps, the government should also (through mandates) order us to wear brimmed hats outside to make a healthier nation in regards to skin cancer. If this bill passes the muster with the Supreme Court, it opens up a can of worms on what the government can mandate.
Yes there would be nothing the government could not make us do and the concept of America,i.e., freedom from government, would, in effect , be destroyed. Thank you liberals. What you could not get by spying for Stalin you are getting in other ways:
Norman Thomas quotes:
The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of 'liberalism' they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.
Liberals support the current system.
Liberals love it when someone else, group health insurance paid for by the company, provides for their blank check health care. Government offers large tax incentives to employers to keep it this way.
Liberals love Medicare where seniors get free blank check health care.
Liberals love it that all government workers get their health care paid for.
The current system is as close to socialism as it gets.
Conservatives want THE INDIVIDUAL to pay for their own damn health care, not group health care subsidized by government, not Medicare and Medicaid subsidized by government and not giving government workers blank check health care provided at tax payer expense.
