Because freedom is forcing people to buy crappy health care.
Via Washington Examiner:
During his speech to Democrats on Friday evening, President Obamapointed out that it was the Democrats, not Republicans that should own the word “freedom.”
“As Democrats, we’ve let the other side define the word ‘freedom’ for too long,” he said, as the crowd applauded.
During his speech, Obama explained that the true meaning of freedom was not just one’s freedom to act as he wished, but rather the freedom from experiencing economic pressure.
Freedom, he insisted, was about having health insurance.
“Freedom is the peace of mind of knowing that if you got sick, you won’t lose everything,” he stated. “Freedom is the ability to change jobs and start a new business, chase a new idea without fear of losing your health insurance.”
