Freedom and liberty are not threatened at all: that stuff smacks of McCarthyism... so I don't get it.
Where's your solution? With all the hyperbole from the right, we hear nothing about what they would do about this.

60% of the budget goes to healthcare, about 10% of the entire productivity of the country, every single year. That would indicate the govt IS involved, massively.
As for patriotism, freedom has nothing to do with it. Freedom is an individual right that superceeds the country. Again, facts. Get some.
