Iѕ thіѕ whу ουr founding fathers built a system government thаt wаѕ definitively limited bу thе constraints outlined іn thе Constitution?
Iѕ thіѕ whу ουr founding fathers wrote a Constitution thаt explicitly prohibited thе federal government frοm enacting laws thаt tells people whаt thеу mυѕt eat (fοr example) οr whether nοt thеу аrе allowed tο pool resources fοr thе purposes οf conveying аn election-affecting political message?
Dο аnу socialist programs enacted οn a federal level definitively force regular citizens tο surrender much οf thеіr individual authority tο a hυgе powerful authority thаt mіght someday υѕе іt against υѕ?

It is unavoidable. How can you be absolutely dependent on government and not be absolutely restricted.
Liberalism is about scheming the lives of the people. Liberals believe that they know what is better for people than the people do.
0bama already has 56% of the people in America ENSLAVED on handouts from the government!!! 56% of the public voted for him!
The health care bill is not the only means of getting health care in this country. It is just that, an choice.
While many huge corporations provide health care policies, their policies keep going up and up and some of them are such terrible policies that people still cant afford the care with the insurance.
And yes, we do need oversight on corporation. With these corporations being so huge and such a huge part of our economy we need to have some oversight.
Yes, the government wants you to be dependent on them
and once you are, they have complete control over you.
But our dependence on employers for food and shelter is another form of slavehood. Instead of laboring for our own necessities we have been locked into a system in which we procure these goods through a middleman. We labor for someone who is artificially above us who reaps the fruits of our labor and gives us coupons for goods that we must redeem from the same people who gave them to us in the first place. We are sharecroppers for the capitalist system and drones for their best buddy, the State.

“Does giving the federal government the power to provide healthcare mean they also now have the power to deny care?”
Yes, but the (un)insurance companies do that already!
I do not know why so many Americans have fallen for lies about healthcare in the USA, abroad and also the plotted reforms [1]. I mean, if the healthcare system in the USA is so excellent, why have no other nations taken it up? Could it be due to the following facts?
FACT – the USA spends more on healthcare PER PERSON than any other nation on the planet [2].
FACT – the US has higher death rates for kids under five than western European countries with universal health coverage [3].
Or if the US healthcare system is run so well, why not run the fire service like the healthcare system? [4]
Maybe that is because in the USA, insurance companies push up costs, buy politicians and refuse to pay claims that people pay for [5]. (Look up Wendell Potter on YouTube to hear more if the link below is too long.)
Obama wants to make insurance cheaper, stop insurance companies from refusing health coverage to persons with pre-unfilled conditions, and make sure they pay out when they are meant to [6], a system similar to that which works in Taiwan [7]. He debated this before he was elected [8].
Is it aptly that a dead American four year ancient would have had a better chance of life if they were born in Canada, Cuba, Germany and so many other industrialised nations with universal healthcare?
If you reckon my arguments are incorrect, e-mail me with proof. But if you can not, let Obama try to help America. If he fails, vote him out in 2012.
But to pledge your question which I presume is meant to read, “Is a government that is powerful enough to fulfill all your needs, competent of enslaving you against your wish?” then yes.
