Obama, of course, is a liberal guy -- a community organizer who fundamentally believes that the American deck is stacked against many poor folks who, through no fault of their own, have been denied opportunities by society. So the president believes that it is government's responsibility to give those people as much money as possible. Free health care is free money.
That puts Obama squarely against Benjamin Franklin, who said, "When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." Franklin realized that politicians who attempted to buy votes by promising rich entitlements could not look out for the good of the entire country. Thus, an inevitable decline would occur.
