I just don't agree with it. Which basic freedoms do you perceive you have lost? I would submit to you, you have not lost any more "basic" freedoms than you did under the Bush Administration. Now, if you want to tell me that you are disturbed about the general trend that government has been taking in the last 10-20 years, I'll buy that.

I think you are forgetting that the two biggest problems facing our country before the economic "crisis" that everyone talked about was health care and illegal immigration. People were furious at GWB because these issues weren't being addressed. And then came the start of the economic crisis (the housing crisis started under GWB) and people moved away from health care and illegal immigration to economics. Why do you think that Obama was elected??? -- because the majority of people didn't like the direction that the country was headed. Nothing has changed. They still don't like the direction that the country is headed, but now it's about economics.

I would submit to you that Obamacare may not be the solution to healthcare, but at least it is something. I find it interesting that some people are howling about it now, when most of the provisions don't go into effect until 2014. So I'd say it is a bit early to decide it isn't working. In my mind, it is a framework to be implemented, and changed and adjusted over time. I'm sure some people howled about Medicare, and now people howl when anyone talks of changes to Medicare. And don't forget that much of it is based on Romney care in Mass.

People are reactionary when it comes to change of any kind.
