I don't think you'l find any objection from people who want healthcare reform on that comment. It's a far stretch, regardless of how slippery a slope you think you're down, to call your government totalitarian. It would have been less of a stretch to use that term a few years ago, but a stretch nonetheless.

I'm all for smaller (and leaner) government and less government involvement in many aspects of society. But healthcare is one place I think it needs some oversight and ability to assert guidance. The US government is already there in a large way and I don't think this is the beginning of the end of liberty, profit or capitalism.

Seriously, if anyone opposed to this had actually put forth a valid and tangible argument for why it's a bad thing, I probably wouldn't be so interested in commenting. All I've seen so far is unfounded proclamations of doom and gloom. Chicken Little style. Oh, and of course a call to arms from the bigger nutters.
