Quote: As soon as the government takes over the responsibility for healthcare they will also claim the right to mandate behavior. No smoking, require seat belts, helmets (or ban motorcycles), ban certain foods, require people to lose weight or lose benefits, mandate that companies make their employees exercise. Once you turn your obligations over to another you lose your liberties. If you turn them over to the government it’s done by statute. If you want the state to be your mama, expect to be treated like a child.
Switching to national healthcare has little to do with most of the examples you provided. Most of those examples are already being regulated by one govt agengy or another.
