Why Liberals Should Oppose the Health Care Bill

I listen to a lot of conservative and liberal talk radio. Almost universally the conservatives are against the current health care reform and the liberals are for it. The one liberal complaint is that it doesn't go far enough. They want a single payer system.

But the bill that has passed the house and is going through the senate should scare the bejesus out of liberals. Why? Because as much as you may not want to admit it, democrats will not always be in control of the government. Imagine if there was a single payer system where the government was in complete control. Now imagine that President Bush was back in office or that, may heaven help us, Sarah Palin were to get elected president of the United States.

Pretty scary thought, isn't it? What do you think uber-conservatives would do if they were in control of the nations health care? Not only would payments for abortions be completely banned but any stem cell treatments would probably be banned too. You can completely forget about medical marijuana being funded. I'm pretty sure they'd put strict restrictions on pain medication...

You get the idea. Everyone screaming for the federal government to take over our health care system, ask yourself this question: Would you still want this system if the other party was in control of it? I assure you that one day they will be.
