I am sure that he is right. We are heading for a more socialist America and it can't come too soon for me. The era of corporatism and profits above people must end. I am proud to be a liberal. I am happy that we have Social Security and Medicare. I hope to live long enough to see Medicare for everyone. Santorum and his kind are dinosaurs and will fade into the obscurity that they so richly deserve. They can take their "fear-mongering" and endless wars on nouns with them.

I wouldn't hold my breath. As much as I yearn for a socialist awakening in the U.S., there is very little that does not support corporatism in this country.

The fact that this man and his ilk are accepted as deserving of a public forum says a great deal about the extreme degraded state of society in the United States. This degradation is no doubt due a failure to educate beyond vocational applications.

Health care reform proposal by obama is a very modest one. Make it a requirement for all to buy healthcare insurance. It will cover everyone and then insurance companies cannot deny insurance for preexisting conditions. I do not see how such a modest proposal for reform can be called as ' socialism '

Considering Mr. Santorum's public intrusion into the private affairs of the family of Terri Schiavo, any discussion he might offer regarding the nexus of government and medicine is without merit. Just more reactionary jive.

The US is the most powerful and most successful country in the world. We didn't get that way by being socialist. We work hard and pay our own way. Obama's plan will cause more layoffs, outsourcing and off-shoring. It's too big and costs too much money. Why not focus more on getting people meaningful jobs so they can pay for health care themselves? If you want more socialism you can move to Europe.

France is currently DESTROYING SOCIAL SECURITY. It's destroying everything 'social' like postal services, railways, etc.
He who sees socialism in Europe should check his facts first. The ideology of selfish stupidity known as 'capitalism' is destroying society here in Europe. Today's capitalism means more power for the already too powerfull.
