Santorum: Fight Against Obamacare Like Fight Against Apartheid

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/rick-santorum-nelson-mandela-obamacare-apartheid

“He was fighting against some great injustice, and I would make the argument that we have a great injustice going on right now in this country with an ever-increasing size of government that is taking over and controlling people’s lives -- and Obamacare is front and center in that,” Santorum said Thursday in an interview with Bill O'Reilly on Fox News.

So, now, it is not Katrina or Iraq anymore. It is apartheid.

When you think you reached the bottom, they dig the hole a little more.

Because people who couldn't buy health insurance because they had a pre-existing condition can do so now.
Because people who couldn't afford health insurance can now get it at a cost they can afford.
This is just like an oppressive system of racial segregation and pervasive discrimination.
Thanks for clearing that up, Frothy.

BTW, Frothy, would you be willing to spend 27 years in prison as a protest against people having access to health insurance?

Didn't think so.

but seriously, what the hell is wrong with people whom honestly believe that government intervention to help people gain access to health care in this country is "injustice" or a "wrong" comparable to Apartheid?
