Rick Santorum warns against dangers...
...of government run health care.

http://www.coloradostatesman.com/content...-socialism

Quote:The reason Obama’s health care plan threatens the American way of life, Santorum said, is that “once the government has control over your life, over your health, it’s almost impossible to get it back, almost impossible to get freedom back.”

...The answer, Santorum said Williams told him, is that Democratic leaders knew that Americans love entitlements, and that by turning health care into an entitlement the die would be cast. “Once we get them hooked on this entitlement, they will never let it go,”

...“Think about how they view you,” he told the crowd of Republicans. “They view you no different than the drug dealer views the little kid in the school yard. They want to get you hooked, they want to get you dependent. They want to get you relying upon them for your wellbeing. And once they’ve satisfied you, giving them that drug, that narcotic, then you’ll be reliant on them and, by the way, you’ll also be less than what God created you to be.”

OK, let's map this out here. What exactly is the scenario that conservatives like him fear so much?

"Ha ha, now that you depend on us for our health care, we call the shots. Renounce Jesus and serve Satan"

"Never! Nothing could turn me from my lord"

"No health care for you then."

"Nooooooo! If only we'd stayed with our for-profit health insurance system. The free market would have never let this happen."

"...and there will be mandatory gay marriage for everyone too..."
