I also may have misunderstood what you mean by loss of Freedoms, if you are referring to loss of Fredom to choose your own docotor own hospital and related , yes you would if you are talking about loss of freedoms such as where you can live, work travel ect, your civil liberties no you would not loose that, so if i misunderstood what you mean my
i just need to clarify what I said in response to what you said, my apologies if i misuinderstood what you meant
What I said was a very general statement and realize it may not mean much to others. If the government does everything for you and all planning for the future, the individual is free to pursue happiness within a very limited domain. You could be forced to accept less than you can individually afford. I don't want to support people who, for example, buy too much of a house but I don't want the government to tell me how big of a house I can purchase either. That may not be good enough answer for the person that can not afford any house or health care at all but it is the best I can offer at the present. I do have an open mind to suggestions. I do think the answer lies within the discussion of capitalism vs. socialism.
