Cancer of Fear

There are plenty of arguments against health care reform that center around an opposition to "growing government." The argument is that government should not be in control of too much because they will then be able to control our lives and take away our freedom. Lets say that is a completely plausible and reasonable concern (I know some think it is and some do not). Of course any rational person arguing this realizes that the government funds and controls a certain portion of modern life. The question then, is, where do you draw the line?

For example, should the federal government fund research for drugs that help patients? It seems that answering yes to this question would be advocating for more "big government." And of course big government steps on the toes of capitalism. But again, where is the line drawn?



All right maybe that was a cheap shot just to have Glenn Beck talk down on capitalism in the face of health needs(1:45). But this appears to be something that people could rally behind. Everyone hates cancer, right?
